Does anyone read/write Latin?
 
Someone myself and scoobyvirgin know has got himself a new tramp-stamp written in Latin.

Apparently "Aga Vestra Somnium" translates to "Live your dream"

However, we suspect that the Latin is incorrect and should be "Ago" rather than "Aga". Can anyone correct the Latin or confirm if it is correct as is.

If it is incorrect we're going to suggest he then gets "Sermo datur cunctis; animi sapientia paucis" (which we believe is correct) translating to "Speech is given to many, intelligence to few".

The tattoo in question:

Odd.

I thought "Aga Vestra Somnium" meant don't fall asleep cooking cheap curries on expensive ovens, but what do I know?

Aga doesn't translate on the online translator.

Putting "live your dream" gives:
Ago vestri somnium
