Clatu Verrata Nictu...?

Question

Does anyone know how to translate that sentence?

I think it's in Latin.

For those who love classics, it's from the "Army of Darkness" horror movie.

Answer 1

It is what the robot said in the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still... It is also the name of three seperate Star Wars Universe races.  It is actually "Klaatu Barada Nikto"  It is not Latin.

Answer 2

The correct spelling is Klaatu barada nikto.

It's a famous phrase from "The day the earth stood still".

You can find a good explanation of this phrase at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaatu_bara...

Their plausible translation is

Klaatu's been killed. You must save him.

When I watched the movie(and I still love it!) my

translation was:

Klaatu's in trouble. Go and find him.
