What is the Latin word meaning 'to see'?
watanas siam
latin was dead long before videos were around... look for the root of sight if anything...
I think [not sure at all] that vide is the latin root for the word video, since latin word vide mean "see/look" etcetera. For example "In lumine Tuo videbimus lumen" or in English "In thy Light we shall see the light" the word videbimus is composed of vide meaning see + bi meaning shall and mus meaning we. Not sure if this is etymologically correct, nevertheless it sounded logical to me.
Yes. Comedere. It's the infinitive of the verb: to eat.
Verbs in Latin conjugate in a variety of ways. There are four basic conjugations which are referred to as their four principle parts. Comedere is the 2nd principle part: the infinitive.Latin verbs also contain properties such as mood, voice, tense, participle.
The word comedere is in the active voice, present tense, indicative mood. The basic active paradigm then is:
Comedo I eat
Comedisyou eat
Comedithe/she/it eats
Comedemus weeat
Comedetis you alleat
Comedent they eat
So if I write: comedo piscis. I am saying, "I eat fish." But if I want to say, "They ate fish," then I would have to write:Comedebant pisces. because I have changed the tense to imperfect (past) and thus the verb ending and noun case changes.

What does the Latin word magna mean?
magna is an adjective meaning "great." In Latin adjectives, like nouns, come in number and gender and also decline. Magna is the feminine form of the word.
Magnus, magna, magnum. Masculine, feminine, and neuter. They do this so they can agree, just like English, with the noun they modify. So if used to modify a masculine noun, you use the masculine form of the adjective:
magnus rex = great king. because rex is a masculine Latin noun. Or:
magna navis = great ship because navis is a feminine noun, and so forth.
Now you know when you see Magna Carter it means Great Charter.

How do you say die with honor in latin?
'To die for' is a slang expression in English, which has only been in use for thirty years or so. It would be silly to try to translate it directly, so you would need to find a Latin word or expression that meant 'the best'. Try 'optimus'; sorry, that's boring, but the best I can think of at the moment. Look at the poems of Catullus, he was a poet with a free spirit, he surely would have a neat expression.
