I’m trying to figure out how to translate something but I’m having a devil of a time with it.
I’m trying to translate “Voter Beware” but I cannot remember how to conjugate it:
Caveat Suffrugator
Or
Subrogātor Cave
??

Subrogātor Cave, according to my third year Latin student.

Why translate things into a dead language no one cares about?
It’s “Ho vocxdonanto zorgu” in Esperanto.

I read Latin. In this case, it's more a question of style than conjugation. Established phrases become idioms and therefore exist "outside" of grammar rules. Because you're doing a take on "Caveat emptor" ("let the buyer beware"), then the best possible phrasing is "Caveat suffragator." It's also grammatically appropriate, though that's beside the point.
