Nemo est qui omnia verba novi auctoris uno die perfecte transferre possit.

Because qui omnia verba ... transferre possit is a relative clause of characteristic.

Latin often uses qui + subjunctive after words like nemo, nullus, sunt qui, and similar expressions when it means something like:

• there is no one who can ...
• there is no one of the sort who would be able to ...

So nemo est qui ... possit is not just identifying a specific person; it describes a kind of person who does not exist. That is why the verb is subjunctive.

A more straightforward sentence could have been nemo omnia verba ... transferre potest, but nemo est qui ... possit is a very normal Latin way to say it.

It means something like there is no one who ... or no one exists who ....

So:

• nemo est = there is no one
• qui ... possit = who can / who would be able to ...

This is a common Latin pattern. English often uses a simpler wording, but Latin likes this structure.

You can think of it as:

• nemo est qui hoc faciat = there is no one who would do this
• nemo est qui hoc possit facere = there is no one who can do this

So in your sentence, the clause after qui explains what kind of person does not exist.

Because it depends on possit.

The verb possum means to be able, and it is regularly followed by an infinitive:

• potest venire = he can come
• possunt videre = they can see
• possit transferre = he/she could be able to translate

So here:

• possit = may be able / could be able
• transferre = to translate

Together they mean can translate or be able to translate.

Novi auctoris is genitive singular, meaning of a new author.

Breakdown:

• auctoris = genitive singular of auctor
• novi = genitive singular of novus, agreeing with auctoris

So verba novi auctoris means the words of a new author.

The genitive shows possession or association. In English we often use of:

• liber pueri = the boy’s book
• verba auctoris = the author’s words

Here it is the same idea.

No. Here novi is the adjective novus in the genitive singular, agreeing with auctoris.

A learner may notice that novi can also be a verb form, from nosco, meaning I know. But context makes that impossible here.

Why?

Because:

• auctoris is genitive singular
• novi matches it in case, number, and gender
• together they form one noun phrase: novi auctoris

So in this sentence, novi definitely means of a new.

Because it expresses time within which something happens: in one day.

Latin commonly uses the ablative without a preposition for this idea:

• uno die = in one day
• paucis horis = in a few hours
• tribus annis = in three years

This is different from duration of time, which is usually in the accusative:

• unum diem laborat = he works for one day
• uno die hoc facit = he does this in one day

So here uno die means the whole task cannot be done within the space of one day.

Because it refers back to nemo, which is grammatically singular and refers to a person.

Even though nemo means no one, Latin still treats it as singular. Since it refers to a person, the relative pronoun is masculine singular by default:

• nemo est qui ... possit

So qui matches the implied singular person: no person who ...

It is the direct object of transferre.

Breakdown:

• verba = neuter plural accusative of verbum
• omnia = neuter plural accusative of omnis, agreeing with verba

So:

• omnia verba = all the words

Because transferre is a transitive verb, it takes a direct object in the accusative, and that is exactly what omnia verba is.

Perfecte is an adverb, and it modifies transferre.

So it tells you how the translating is done:

• transferre = to translate
• perfecte transferre = to translate perfectly

Since perfecte is an adverb, it does not agree with any noun. It simply describes the action.

Yes, but it is normal Latin word order rather than anything strange.

Latin is much freer than English because the endings show the grammar. So the sentence can place words where they sound natural or emphatic.

A rough structural view is:

• Nemo est
• qui
• omnia verba
• novi auctoris
• uno die
• perfecte transferre
• possit

The main idea comes first: Nemo est.
Then the relative clause explains what kind of person does not exist.
The infinitive transferre is placed near possit, which is also very natural.

So the order may feel unusual to an English speaker, but grammatically it is straightforward Latin.

Yes. A simpler version would be something like:

Nemo omnia verba novi auctoris uno die perfecte transferre potest.

That would also mean No one can perfectly translate all the words of a new author in one day.

The actual sentence, though, uses a more characteristically Latin pattern:

• nemo est qui ... possit

This gives the sentence a slightly more formal or literary feel and emphasizes that no such person exists.
