What gender is the Latin word dies?
Depending on how it's used, diēs can be either masculine or feminine. According to the Oxford Latin Dictionary, it is generally masculine, but "frequently or usually" feminine when it is personified as a deity, when it refers to a specific day (e.g., the date of a letter, or an appointed day for business), when it refers to the passing of time, "and occasionally elsewhere." Gildersleeve's Latin Grammar further notes that although diēs is "common" (i.e., both masculine and feminine) in the singular, it is masculine in the plural.
What is the latin word for enjoy?
This question cannot be answered in a single, simple way. The person who asked it has no clue as to the complexity of the Latin language. The principal parts of the verb "to enjoy" are:gaudeo, gaudes, gavisus sum, gaudere. It is a semideponent verb. If you want to say in the present indicative tense "I enjoy" or "I am enjoying" it would be "gaudeo." "You, singular, enjoy (now)" would be "gaudes". "He, she, it enjoys (now)", it would be "gaudet" and so on...
If you switch to the imperative mode in the present, there are two renditions: "enjoy," referring to one person, it would be "gaude" if two or more, it would be "gaudete." As you can see one cannot get an English-Latin dictionary and start translating. It would be simply ludicrous and Cicero would be rolling in his grave for a long time.

What does 'trask' mean in Latin?
The word 'trask' exists as a family name. There's some controversy over its meaning and origins. But agreement tends to hover over Norse-Viking origins. It also tends to hover over meaning either the actual bog/marsh/swamp or lake environment; or the dweller of either environment. Therefore, the last name Trask may be rendered into the Latin for the environment, or for the dweller of such an environment. The word in the nominative or subject form for bog, marsh, swamp is palus, and that for lake is lacus. The respective phrases incola in lacuand incola in palude, in the locative case, or case of place, refer to a 'dweller of the lake' and a 'dweller of the bog/marsh/swamp'. Or another possibility is use of either the ablative or genitive case forms of the two words. In the genitive case, the respective terms lacus and paludi mean 'of the lake' and 'of the bog/marsh/swamp'. In the ablative case, the respective terms in lacu and in palude mean 'by means of or with the lake' and 'by means of or with the bog/marsh/swamp'.
