How would you say clear hearts in Latin?

My derived conclusion thusfar is "claro cor" but that is singular and I'm not sure how to conjugate it to a plural form.

Thanks.

I think you're close. My Latin is pretty rusty...but from what I remember, "cor" is neither masculine or feminine, but rather a neuter word. The nominative plural of cor is corda.

You would have to use the neuter plural form of "clarus" as well, which would be the -a ending.

So...and I may be off here...but I think the best translation of clear hearts would be CLARUS CORDA. Like I said, I'm pretty rusty...but that sounds pretty close to me.

That would be correct if clear was the verb (to) clear. But I'm thinking the OP means to have clear as an adjective.

Correct assumption.
