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.

Thanks so much, guys!! Subrogātor Cave is what I thought and wasn’t riffing off of Caveat Emptor as much as looking for the accurate translation.

I’m naming a voting game (can be solo or with others) and wanted it to be correct.
