Re: Music in Latin

The Tridentine Mass, also known as the Traditional Latin Mass, is the liturgical form of the Roman Mass codified by Pope Pius V in 1570, following the Council of Trent. It remained the primary form of the Mass in the Catholic Church for nearly 400 years, until the liturgical reforms following the ...

I wouldn’t call your daughter girl. In English.

Imagine your daughter got excellent grades in school and you're super happy for that. Couldn't you say to her something like yeah, that's my girl! in the sense of well done, good job, I'm so proud of you, etc.?

Re: Ela é minha menina. (en → pt)

It's a loving way to say it. Normally in Portuguese daughter is just filha and girlfriend namorada .

Interestingly, in French fille can mean both daughter and girl in general.

Both come from the Latin word filia , which, as far as I know, only means daughter. For a girl we would say puella .

Latin Abbreviations

Latin frequently uses abbreviations, which appear often in old texts and on monuments. That’s why it’s useful to know at least some of the most common ones, especially since many are still used in modern languages.

There are some guidelines:

In a compound: usually the Chinese reading (onyomi), like 生活 (せいかつ).

But yes, at the end of the day there’s some memorization involved. The key is to pay attention to the context of the sentence. The more you ...
