What does Genibus Nitito Canus translate to?
Genibus Nitito Canus looks like an attempt to translate "On your knees, dog!" into Latin, but there are difficulties:
- The form nitito does not exist. It appears to be the stem of the verb nitor, niti "rest on" plus -to, the active ending of what is known as the second, or future, singular imperative. However, as a deponent verb nitor requires the passive ending -tor in this case; the correct form is nititor. (A qualification: medieval Latin was not particularly shy about transforming deponent verbs into active ones, so it's not impossible that nitito reflects an actual medieval usage.)
- Canus is an adjective meaning "white" and by extension a noun meaning "white-haired man". It cannot be a way of addressing the person being spoken to; that form would be the vocative Cane. If the word "dog" is intended, that would be Canis.
- An actual Latin request that someone bow down in submission would probably not use the verb niti in the first place, but rather some variant of genu flectere, "to bend the knee", such as genu flecte/flectito or simply the phrase ad genua, "to [your] knees".
On your knees dog.
What is the word stratus in latin?
Stratus in Latin is the past participle of the verb sternere, "to spread out".

Exceptionally, stratus can also occur in place of the usual stratum meaning "a cover; a spread".
Is 'omnes sumus pulvis stellae' a correct translation of 'we are all stardust' in Latin?
Classical Latin prefers the verb at the end of the sentence (it is a subject-object-verb language, unlike English which is a subject-verb-object language). The verb can appear in other positions, but usually for poetic or prosaic effect.
The genitive plural of stella is stellarum, not stellae.
So a more usual order would be: Omnes pulvis stellarum sumus.
