Best Answer

Anno Domini and Ante Christum are Latin equivalents of the English abbreviations "A.D." and "B.C." The two prepositional phrases respectively translate literally as "Year of Our Lord," which is sometimes abbreviated in English as "C.E." for "Common Era" or "Current Era," and "Before Christ" in English. The respective pronunciations will be "AN-no DO-mee-nee" and "AN-tey KREE-stoom" in Church and classical Latin.

THe modern English abbreviation AD stands for the Latin words anno Domini, which mean "in the year of the Lord". This phrase refers to all years since the estimated birth of Jesus Christ (Our Lord). This estimated date is certainly incorrect, but it is used a starting point for the modern western calendar.

In Latin the preposition ad means 'to' or 'towards'.

As an abbreviation, A.D. stands for Anno Domini, "in the Year of the Lord".
