    The verb "to shut up" translates into Latin as "concludere"-

    http://lysy2.archives.nd.edu/cgi-bin/words.exe?con...

    If you mean "shut up " as a command (imperative) it's CONCLUDE if addressed to a single person and CONCLUDITE if addressed to more people.

    The sentence you would translate into Latin " Stulte, hoc est quomodo concludere Latine dicis " (or conclude if you mean at the imperative)

    ADDED

    Above suggestion Claude and Claudite looks to me not fitting as the verb "claudere" has different meanings but "shut up" is not included...!!

    tace et audi (to one person) tacete et audite (to more than one person) Shut up is an American colloquialism, what you mean is to be quiet (right?). I assume when you say Latin, you mean lingua Latina, and not Spanish.

    my old Latin teacher used to say:

    Claudite Magna Ora or Orum - Close Magnificant Orfus/Mouth.

    well shut up was never an ancient latin phrase so u cant actually say it verbadum they would say be quiet or keep quiet

    so if ur saying it in an angry tone u would say fac! to one person or facite! to 2 or more ppl

    other ways that are more polite are silentium, silere, and quiescere

    "Claude suam oram!" in the singular ("Claudite suam oram!" in the plural) would do nicely. It translastes to "Shut your mouth!" ("Shut up!").

    If your wanted to shorten it to "Claude" or "Claudite", you would know what is understood and probably the person (persons) to whom it was directed would too (soon enough).

    Note: "Claude" does, in fact, mean "shut/close"; and "suam oram" does, in fact, mean "your mouth". It works.

    But "Tace!", meaning "Be silent!" in the singular may be best ... (Tacite!" or "Tacete!" in the plural).

    The entire sentence then becomes "Heus, Stulte, "Shut up!" in Latina lingua est "Tace!" vel "Claude suam oram!". ... "Hey, Stupid, "Shut up!" in the Latin lanuage is Tace!" or "Claude suam oram!".
