Can anyone please translate into latin: "we do nothing, but we do it so well"?

Question

i already asked this question once, but i'd like some confirmation as it will someday be a tattoo. supposedly the translation for "we do nothing but we do it well" is "nihil facimus sed id bene facimus". i just want to add the "so" into there..what is the best/most accurate translation into latin? thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

The translation you have is accurate.  It would be a little hard to add a word for "so," because in English we often misuse "so" to mean "very."  If you used one of the Latin adverbs for "so" in this sentence, a reader who knew Latin would think, "So well that what?"  If you want to say "very well," just change "bene" to "optime."

EDIT  On further checking, I see that "ita" could be used the way you mean, or "tam," as the first answerer suggested.  So you could say "id facimus ita [or "tam"] bene."

Answer 2

'So' translates into Latin as "tam".

However I would avoid to repeat twice "facimus" in the same sentence, ancient Roman won't never do that.

"Nihil facimus, sed tam bene id agimus" or also "Nihil facimus, sed id tam bene agimus". ("agimus" translates 'we act')
