English term or phrase: eternal bond of brothers
still looking for the definitive translation of the word "brothers". therefore, if i wanted to know the latin phrase for the english phrase "eternal bond of brothers" or "brothers for life", what would those two phrases translate into in Latin?
mbrascetta (X)
fratres in aeternum
Explanation:
How about "brothers forever": "fratres in aeternum".

It is quite idiomatic in Latin.

Hope this helps you.

thank you for the timely response. we just want to make sure that the word we tatoo on our bodies is the right one, so it is important that the accuracy of the response be extremely high. so if i understand you correctly, the latin word for "brothers" is "fratres" the plural form for "frater", is that correct?
