How do you say ' we are' in Latin?
If you wish to say 'How are you', you could say 'quid agis', which literally means 'what are you', but means 'how are you'. You could also say 'quid agis hodie' which means 'how are you today'. There are a lot of ways you could answer it and I know a few. Optime means "awesome/great", like you just won a million dollars or something. Bene means "well", and bene satis means "okay/so-so". Pessime means you're doing horrible or something, I'm not sure what the exact word is though.
EDIT:
Quid Agis literally means "what are you doing?", and gets used as we use "What's up?". The answers provided above are right. However, the more accurate way of asking "How are you doing?" would be Quo habes? The same answers apply here as well.
Bene satis literally means "well enough/ good enough". (adverb)
Pessime literally means "worst". (adverb)
What does the latin word cf mean?
The abbreviation cf is an English term, not Latin. It comes from the Latin word confero, meaning "I consult, refer to, match with".
It is used in modern English literature to refer the reader to some other literary source.
Is penta a greek or latin prefix?
Greek, from the Greek πέντε (pente). The Latin equivalent is quinque; which is where words such as quintillion come from.
The word 'declension' describes a process in languages that use case endings to show the relationship of the parts of speech to the verb and to the rest of the sentence. For example, case endings identify whether a noun is the subject in the nominative case, an object of possession in the genitive, the direct or indirect object of the main verb in the accusative and dative cases respectively, or a prepositional object in the ablative case. The formal process of declension includes the singular and plural forms of each case; and the feminine, masculine and neuter forms.
A declension is a method of inflecting a noun, pronoun, or adjective, generally according to a systematic order. As a consequence, the noun in question takes different forms that identify its position within the sentence. For example, in Latin, a noun may have nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, or ablative case endings. The different endings change the look of the noun. But they're necessary in telling listeners and readers of the relationship of the particular noun to the verb and to the rest of the sentence.
Ut res magis valeat quam pereat?
The principle ut res magis valeat quam pereat is an advanced idea in jurisprudence, and to fully understand it you should refer to a legal dictionary.
The basic idea of [better the thing should function than that it should perish] is that if a piece of law seems unclear, one should try to understand it in a way that makes sense of it. The underlying idea of all legal systems is that all laws make sense, and are there for a purpose. If a law seems incomprehensible or silly, one should try to understand it in some way that makes sense of it - so that it can be used [valeat] rather than simply ignored [pereat].
