Funestos augurios

[poli]

Is this a common term for fear mongerers?, prophets of doom?, harbinger of doom?
Is this a term that's generally understood?

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

It's a generally understood term, for what I know. It means "ominous prophecy", and yes, it's usually that kind of people who tend to announce them.


Some synonyms for "augurio": Presagio, anuncio, profecía.

Some synonyms for "funesto": desastroso, fatídico, infortunado.

[sosia]

Agree with angelica.
"funestos augurios" is something like "unlucky omens" "muy malos presagios" or " profecías terribles"
An usual sentence in old literature, when an old wizard/duid/roman augur spoked about unlucky omens "funestos augurios".
saludos :D

PD: By the way, I recoment the funny book "ggod omens" by Terry Prattchet and Neil Gaiman.
The complete title is :
"Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (1990)"
