I have asked this question before but i really need to know the answer, can anyone help me out please?
I need to find out how to say 'only god can judge me' in latin. I think i already have 1 answer (apparantly there are many ways to say it) which is 'tantum deus can sentio mihi'
I have to be 100% sure though, does anyone speak latin. Please do not quote phrases from online translators as they are'nt very good and tend to jumble the words around.
Thanks

CMHurley, thanks that seems quite good. Do you know what my latin version means? Is it wrong?

Solus Deus me iudicare licet.
Deus is male gender and first case (nominative) - so the adjective has to be male gender and first case as well, not neutral gender or accusative as solum would indicate.
I chose a different verb that implicates that only God is capable and allowed to judge me.
Quod licet Jovis non licet bovis ~ What Jupiter can do, the bull is not allowed to do.

ab1609, "only" in this case is not an adjective modifying "God"; it is an adverb and is translated "solum" as the previous two answerers did. I like your use of "licet" rather than "potest", though!
