What is the Latin word for nomad?
We get our word "nomad" from the Latin proper noun Nomas(genitive Nomadis), which referred to a wandering pastoral people associated with Numidia. (This word in turn was borrowed from Greek.)
What word is formed from the Latin prefix e- together with a root formed from the Latin word loqui?
The word formed from the Latin prefix "e-" and a root formed from the Latin word "loqui" is "eloquent." The prefix "e-" means "out" or "from," while the Latin root "loqui" means "to speak." Therefore, "eloquent" means to speak fluently or persuasively, conveying one's thoughts effectively.
These are the Latin words for "I", "love" and "you", but they don't go together to mean "I love you" because amor is a noun, not a verb. In addition, vos is the plural form of "you".
A much better translation for "I love you" (where "you" refers to one person) is te amo.
The phrase 'et alors' means and so?, andso what?, or so what? In the word-by-word translation, the conjunction 'et' means 'and'. And the adverb 'alors' means 'in a short while, then'.
This is an example of modern fake Latin.
lege = read (imperative singular)
atque = and, and also
lacrima = a tear (singular, so just one)
So: "Read! and a tear"
The implied meaning is "read it and weep", but the Latin is not correct for that meaning.
What is the meaning of 'Meus adjutor vince in hoc dominus agla'?
The statement 'Meus adjutor vince in hoc dominus agla' contains errors. The word 'adjutor' needs to be written 'adiutor'. The word 'meus' preferably follows, instead of going before. The word 'hoc' needs to be written 'hac'. The word 'dominus' needs to be written 'domu'. And the word 'agla' needs to be written 'Aglaia'. The meaning of the corrected phrase, 'Adiutor meus vince in hac domu Aglaiae', is My helper, conquer in this house of Aglaia*. In the word-by-word translation, the noun 'adiutor' means 'deputy, helper'. The possessive adjective 'meus' means 'my'. The verb 'vince' means 'conquer', in the imperative active. The preposition 'in' means 'among, in, on, within'. The demonstrative pronoun 'hac' means 'this'. And the noun 'domu' means 'house'. *Aglaia is the name of one of the Three Graces of charm and beauty.
What does Barbarus hic ego sum quia non intellegor ulli mean?
I am a foreigner here because I am not understood by anyone.
Latin root for the word spectacular?
The root is "specta-," most likely from "spectat," meaning "watch."
How is sola deo gratia pronounced?
Given the religious nature of the quotation, it's probably most appropriate to pronounce this in the Ecclesiastical (Church Latin) manner: SO-lah DAY-oh GRAH-tsee-ah.
However, this is probably a misquotation; it means "thanks only [i.e., 'thanks and nothing else'] to God." Probably one or the other of the following was intended instead:
- Soli Deo gratia: Thanks to God alone [i.e. 'to God and no one else']
- Sola Dei gratia: Only by the grace of God
What is 'mundus intellectualis' in English?
The world of the intellectual is the English equivalent of 'mundus intellectualis'. In the word by word translation, the noun 'mundus' means 'world'. The adjective 'intellectualis' means 'intellectual'.
"We people is we voice." (It's not grammatical in Latin; why should it be grammatical in English?)
"Our people is our voice." (Nos means our; we (are) is translated as sumus.)
