Any Greek, or Latin speakers?

I know some one here speaks Greek, as for Latin?
I need the translation for, without quotes:
"Going forth by day"
I came up with some results from translators on the web, but want to be sure.
Thanks much, guys.
 
been a while since i used it but....

προς τα εμπρός με μερα (προς τα εμπρός (to go forwards), με (with), μερα (Morning/Day) Phoenetic pronunciation;
pros ta emprós meh méra)​

not sure whether it's imera (μερα prefaced with η (I) should be correct either way as day is a noun) :salute:

Nice going Matt! :applause:

Hi Piglet - please give me the context in which you intend to use the phrase.

Very often for slogans or motif, we use an older grammatical approach.
My daughter has a university degree in both ancient and modern Greek and makes a fair pass with latin also.

She'd be only too pleased.

If you like, PM me.

Best Regards
Nigel

Thanks Nigel, been most of my lifetime i haven't used Greek.... apart from ordering things ie. Beer :icon_lol: and Foxtrot Me.... that Daughter of yours never fails to impress! one talented girl! stand proud pal!

Piglet..... Nigel, Dimus and I (Amongst others) are competent Greek Speakers, well maybe not so competent these days in my case... but if you ever need help one of us will be able to assist :salute:
 
Thanks guys!
The contex would be as a phrase, say, on a sign over a door or maybe a tomb. This is what I came up with.
