What does the Latin word 'adventus' mean?
The word "advent" does not occur in Latin. The English word "advent" (meaning "arrival") is from Latin adventus, "approach; arrival" (from ad-, "toward", and venire, "to come").
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.
What is the English translation of 'Quod Deus iunxit homo non separet'?
The English equivalent of the Latin command 'Quod Deus iunxit homo non separet' is Those whom God has joined together, let not man put asunder. In the word-by-word translation, the relative pronoun 'quod' means 'those whom', as the accusative singular of 'quod' in the neuter gender. The noun 'Deus' means 'God', as the nominative singular of the masculine gender. The verb 'iunxit' means '[he/she/it] has joined', as the third person singular of the perfect indicative of 'iungere'. The noun 'homo' means 'man', as the nominative singular of the masculine gender. The adverb 'non' means 'not'. The verb 'separet' means '[he/he/it] let put asunder', as the third person singular of the present subjunctive of 'separare'.
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'.
What is the English equivalent of 'Sumus semper in excretum sed alta variat'?
This is a not-quite-successful translation of "We are always in excrement, only the depth varies."
The main problems: excretum is not really "excrement"; alta is "[the] depths" (i.e., deep places), not the quality "depth"; sed is "but" or "however".
A better translation would beSemper in merda sumus; altitudo solum variat.
There are several Latin words for excrement, of varying degrees of politeness. The most basic is merda, which gave rise to the common Romance words; the Romans themselves used stercus"dung, manure" as a term of abuse; for the more fastidious there's excrementum, although this word has a more general application in Latin than in English (Tacitus uses it for spittle and mucus).
What is the Latin word for white cloud?
Cumulus blancus Cumulus blancus? The correct answer is nubis alba And my reward for correcting the stupidity of someone who had no business answering this question?

Thx a lot for that
What does the word animalis mean?
'My Soul to Keep' in Latin is:
Meam animam conservare.
Ut anima mea.
Its the 'Animam' part that means 'Soul':
From 'Latin word list':
animi : at heart.
animus : courage, vivacity, bravery, will, spirit, soul.
animus : character, intellect, memory, consciousness, often mind.
So when reading, 'Animam' will most likely mean in English 'Soul'.
What does the latin phrase 'Bono Non Malo' mean?
Bonus means "good", but it is the masculine form of the adjective, so it would be used with only masculine nouns; when used without a noun, it would have to signify a male person, "good man". The plural of bonus is boni, "good men".
"A good thing" would have to be the neuter form, bonum; plural bona "good things". Adjectives are listen in dictionaries by their masculine forms, so using bonus to mean "a good thing" looks as though someone looked it up in a dictionary who didn't know any Latin. That is why the Oxford English Dictionary speculates that the non-Latin word bonus (as used in English and many other languages) was coined either as a joke or by someone ignorant:
[Bonus:] An ignorant or jocular application of L. bonus 'good (man)', probably intended to signify a boon, 'a good thing' (bonum). Prob. originally Stock Exchange slang.

Domini
n. (Latin) part of the phrase "anno Domini" ("in the year of our Lord, " generally written as "A.D.", designates the years since the reputed date of the birth of Christ)
Domini may mean: * Domini (company) - an investment company. * Domini (Imperial Rome) - meaning "lords" in Latin, a title of emperors of the Roman Empire. * Domini (Christianity) - meaning "of the Lord" in Latin, used in phrases such as Anno Domini and Dies Domini referring to Jesus Christ. A.D does not mean (NB) After the death of Christ. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_domini Because B.C. is the English abbreviation for Before Christ, some people incorrectly conclude that A.D. must mean After Death, i.e., after the death of Jesus (NB). If that were true, the thirty-three or so years of his life would not be in any era.[5] Anno Domini[1] (Medieval Latin: In the year of (the/Our) Lord),[2][3] abbreviated as AD or A.D., is a designation used to number years in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. More fully, years may be also specified as Anno Domini Nostri Iesu (Jesu) Christi ("In the Year of Our Lord Jesus Christ"). The calendar era that it numbers is based on the traditionally reckoned year of the conception or birth of Jesus. Before Christ, abbreviated as BC or B.C., is used in the English language to denote years before the start of this epoch. Though the Anno Domini dating system was devised in 525, it was not until the 8th century that the system began to be adopted in Western Europe. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, even popes continued to date documents according to regnal years, and usage of AD only gradually became more common in Europe from the 11th to the 14th centuries.[4] In 1422.

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.
What is pi beta phi in greek letters?
That's like saying "what does PBF mean?".
Those are simply three letters of the Greek alphabet used very strangely in North American colleges to denote what in Britain are called school "houses" - at my old Grammar School we had Clive House, Drake House, Nelson House and so on, all competing against each other. Colleges in the USA call their houses "fraternities" or "sororities" (depending on male or female) and use three Greek letters to name each one, seemingly at random.
