Here's the thing about Navi

Natus in Latin is a perfect active participle, which means it acts as a verbal adjective and is translated as past tense. It describes the word that comes after it which is "vincere" which is the infinitive form of the verb "win", and is translated as "to win". Caesar also uses this verb in his famous quote "Veni, Vidi, Vici" (I came, I saw, I conquered). As Natus is translated as "born", Navi's full name is "Born to win", which I always found weird cause I was taught natus means "son" so I always thought their name was "Son to win" for a long time.

I personally think current languages is more fun. Because it's constantly evolving. And it's something you can use.

Lmfao. I just searched up what NaVi meant like a year ago. And I was like. Cool. Never thought someone could have a misunderstanding like this though.

Thank you, bro, for the explanation. I was aware of the translation, but you provided a far more complete breakdown.
