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.
Orare originally meant simply "to speak" (related to the noun os, oris, "mouth"), but even in Classical Latin this literal meaning was obsolete, being replaced by "to argue, to plead." In a secular context, it became the root of the word orator, which meant the same in Latin as it does in English. In a religious context, it took on the meaning "to pray", which is how it is (or was) used in the Latin liturgy of the Catholic Church.
What does the latin word alto mean in English?
Without knowledge of the context of this word, I believe it is a form of 'altus, alta, altum', meaning 'high', or 'tall' (in a physical sense). Like 'alta moenia Romae' is 'the high/tall walls of Rome'.

How to say evil king in latin?
That depends on what you exactly mean. Maleficium means an evil deed, wickedness, crime, and malitia means badness. Malum, which is an adjective, can also mean evil as a substantive. Scelus is an evil deed or wickedness and is a much stronger word than a word like peccatum, which means a sin. Sceleritas is the act of committing an evil sin, or wickedness. Some latin words can mean both evil or an evil deed.
The best might be malum, due to the Vulgate (and it is the closest in use to our word evil) and maleficium because in Medieval times maleficus and malefica meant a male witch and a female witch, but in a way in it meant harm, sorcery, or fraud, so, yay, malum might be best.

How do you say Lets walk in Latin?
In latin there are several different ways to answer this question, as well as several different ways to say "walk" which is obviously a verb. There are six tenses for a verb, but I am only familiar with three. These are Present, Imperfect and Perfect tenses. You would also generally use the word "ambulat" as a beginner in latin to say this. This word, and all the other ways to pronounce "walk" in latin will be in first conjugation, and the connecting vowel will be "a" because of this. In present tense there are: Ambulo - I (am) walkng Ambulas - You (singular) are walking. Ambulat - He/she/it is walking Ambulamus - We are walking. Ambulatis - You (plural) are walking. Ambulant - They are walking (note that in present tense you could say, walks, are walking, is walking). Imperfect tense: Ambulabam - I was walking Ambulabas - you (singular) were walking. Ambulabat - He/she/it was walking. Ambulabamus - we were walking. Ambulabatis - you (plural) were walking. Ambulabant - They were walking. (note that another alternative ending could be, and rarely is, "used to") Perfect: Ambulavi - I walked. Ambulavisti - you (singular) walked. Ambulavit - he/she/it walked. Ambulavimus - we walked. Ambulavistis - you (plural) walked. Ambulaverunt - they walked. (note that an alternative way to say this tense is to have the word "have" before the verb). This is all I can tell you at the moment, however, note that when you pronounce and ending, use the alternative ending that makes more sense in english. An example of the common way to say "walk" as a beginner latin student, which I mentioned at the beginning of this answer is: Servus Ambulat. This translates to.... The slave is walking.

"Archy" is not an English word, but if you're talking about the root "-archy," then it comes from the Greek ἀρχή (arche, "rule, empire"). If you're looking for an equivalent Latin root for that root, then it might be regnum, "kingdom", e.g. an interregnum a period between rulers.
What does the word populi mean in Latin?
Taking a Latin word out of its context is always a mistake since the context will provide the exact translation. Populi can be the nominative plural or the genitive singular of the noun populus, meaning a people or a nation.
It could therefore mean peoples or nations; or it could mean of a people or of a nation. Only the rest of the sentence will help to specify the exact meaning.

prosecutor. Habeus Corpus - which stipulates, that the person must be brought before a judge, is latin for the body has. Also Modus Operandi - meaning mode of operation.

The seal of the state of Virginia says Sic Semper Tyrannis which means thus always to tyrants. The United States Marine Corps motto is Semper Fidelis which means always faithful. The state Alabama motto is Audemus Jura Nostra Defendere which means we dare to defend our rights. The state of Arkansas motto is Regnat Populus which means the people rule. Back to law Pacta Sunt Servanda which means agreements must be kept, this deals with contracts. Also Jus Cogens which means compelling law. Clausula Rebus Sic Stantibus which means clause things standing, this is basically an escape clause to Pacta Sunt Servanda. I could sit here all day, but I think this is probably enough.
