5 +1 | iter per tempus |

time travel iter per tempus Explanation: If you want the name of the action, this would be a way to say it. The preposition "per" gives the idea that you are traveling "through" time. If you want to emphasize the idea of travelling "in" time, then you could say *iter in tempore*, but I think this could lead to confusion, because "in tempore" means also "timely, in a timely manner". If you want to use a verb (to travel in time), then I would put it this way: tempus peregrinari Peregrinor is primaraly to travel in a foreign country, or to be in a foreign country, but it can be taken in a more abstract sense, as in: Peregrinari infinitatem omnem (Cic.), to travel all over the infinity, to travel the whole infinity If you want to specify that you travel back in time, I would say: iter in praeteritum tempus iter per praeteritum tempus iter in anteactum tempus -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day7 hrs (2011-03-16 08:33:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Yes, peregrinatio per tempus works fine. |
