Need translation on the following. Not sure if it's Gaelic or Latin. What does "Haec terra mea est" mean?

Question

"Haec terra mea est" I heard that it mean "the urge of your own want" could someone confirm this for me or get me a better translation. Thanks.

Answer 1

Latin: This earth (ground, land, etc.) is mine.
This is my land is another interpretation.

Answer 2

I'm wondering how you got the urge of your own want?

It's clearly Latin, and it looks like it comes from the first chapter in a beginning Latin book.

Terra means land or earth. (Think extra terrestrial, terrain, territory)
mea means mine, and the ending shows that it modifies terra.
(incidentally, "my bad" in Latin is "mea culpa" the same word mea.)
est means is, (it is, she is, he is, person's name is... all possibilities for that one little word.)

Then, Latin has a different word order than English. Kind of the way Yoda would say it. This land my is. Ok fine, but that makes no sense in English. This is my land, or you could say, This land is mine.

Haec terra tua est. - This land is yours.

urgeo of meus own volo=the urge of my own want.

Answer 5

Hi, it is Latin and it means:

This/Here is my land

I don't see how they could get "the urge of your own want" even with a lot of imagination and no knowledge of Latin.

Answer 6

It's Latin and means 'This is my land' or 'This is my country.'
