Alicia is Canadian PhD student in medieval history. Bounce is a student in Melbourne. She took quite a few semesters of Latin out of sheer masochism. She has fibromyalgia and is bloody funny when pissed.
Yes. I studied it for seven years. But that was a few years ago. I can certainly have a pop at it myself and I have lots of friends who studied Classics who will be able to verify it!
Well, I think it might simply not work. I wanted to do a wordplay with the title for my fic. Change 'memento mori' and replace the mori part with whatever means 'touch', but a discussion with a friend on IM led me to the conclusion that latin grammar is a bitch and it doesn't work that way.
*smiles* Hi! Shai memtioned you needed the latin? I'm not sure how much help I can be, really, but I'll try.
Mori is from morior, mori, mortuus - 3/4 depontent infinitive. Which means that you can just go with tangere from tango, tangere - I touch, since it's also an infintive. If you're keeping the tenses and everything the same, you should be able to just stick that in instead of mori. I think.
I'm afraid I'm not a hundred percent sure on it, since for the life of me, I can't figure out where memento comes from. I just ...can't find it, I'm afraid. *is a doofus* and because we never actually did Latin composition in class. Just translation. But I think it would work.

I'm really sorry I can't be more help than that.
