quietemne

I suppose to pick a nit, I should've said QUIETEMNE?

I feel silly but I can't translate this-
I go away;
to be able (to have?) quiet.
should the abeo be imperative abite?
or should the posse be a subjunctive result ut haberem?
confused, Nina

No, I've deliberately made what should be the infinitive into a normal conjugating verb and what should've been the conjugating verb into an infinitive. Then I stuck the enclitic on the last word of the sentence, in my half-baked effort to make a cat speak Latin. With better grammar: Possumne queitem habere?

I'm glad to see that someone else other than me prompts students to caption (did I mean CAT-tion?) icanhazcheezburger! Great work!
