I'm trying to figure out the feminine (if that's even necessary) way of saying "speak up" in Latin. The closest I came was “eloquor” (to speak out; express) and proloquor “ to speak out”. Does anyone have anything closer to what I am looking for or even a correction to the two translations I wrote earlier? Any help much appreciated. Thanks ahead of time to all.

Depends on what you mean by "speak up"; if you mean "speak louder," you could go with "loqui clarius" (to speak louder). If you just mean it as a more emphatic version of "speak," "loqui" or "eloqui" will do just fine. The "up" is usually there for emphasis and can be expressed in numerous ways in Latin (most likely by word position). That said, "eloqui" is already a somewhat emphatic version of "loqui."

Also, only nouns and adjectives have gender in Latin; verbs do not, thank God. So unless you're going to put a subject in there, you needn't worry about expressing gender.

i could flow with Animus ferreus. i like "Voluntas" somewhat greater proper, even nevertheless the two could do, yet i think like there may be an contract concern in Voluntas ferreus. in line with probability no longer. "Ferreus" is the adjectival style (i.e. "a will of iron") while "ferrum" is the considerable style.

The best I can find is "colloquor" (converse) , "declamo"
(bluster/bawl), "effor" (make known), "communico" (communicate).
