The Michelin Man's name is Bibendum. Latin I presume... What does it mean? ?

Has anyone ever seen a poster of the Michelin man in an automobile with a glass of champagne?

The Michelin Man's name is Bibendum. Latin I presume... What does it mean? ?
Bibendum is the gerondive of Latin verb bibere, drink.


Nunc est bibendum, it's time to drink. (the beginning of a famous Horace's poetry).





The motto of Michelin was "le pneu Michelin boit l'obstacle", "Michelin tyre drinks the obstacle"
Reply:I'm sure I saw it someplace. Might have been in Belgium at Auto World. My hubby has a few old ones. He works for the company so we have a few neat Michelin and Bib things around the house.





Did you know that tires use to be all white. They are only black now because they add carbon black to them so the rubber lasts longer. Synthetic rubber is a by product of oil being refined into gas and if the refineries are closed, like they were in Sept after the hurricanes, there isn't enough rubber to make tires. I'm sure you didn't know that.

Does anyone know what the name Hudson is in Latin?

I'm making a list of my friends' names in Latin, but I can't find Hudson anywhere. Does anyone know? I'll be glad for anything...as long as it's correct!

Does anyone know what the name Hudson is in Latin?
You can usually latinize a last name by adding the suffix -us or -ius to the end if it is masculine and the suffix -a or -ia to the end if it is feminine. For example, the famous Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus (1707 - 1778) latinized his name from 'Karl Von Linne'. Sir Isaac Newton has inscribed on his tomb the name "Isaacus Newtonius."





Thus, you could latinize a name like John Hudson or Robert Hudson to Johannis Hudsonius and Robertus Hudsonius. A name like Joan or Jane Hudson would be Johanna Hudsonia since it is feminine.

What european country uses its latin name, helvetia, on its stamps?

Switzerland. The official name of Switzerland is Confoederatio Helvetica (CH), also Latin. This is because there are 4 official languages and they don't want to give any particular one precedence, and it would be hard to write Suisse, Schweiz, Svizzera (and whatever the name is in Romansch) on a little postage stamp.

tin- in greek, also tin...in latin, plumbum candidum


iron -ferrum
Reply:iron is same
Reply:All of the answers given before me were correct with one major flaw: tungsten is known as Wolfram in GERMAN, not Latin. It is from this derivation that the symbol for tungsten is W. The Romans had no knowledge of Tungsten, and so would not have created a name for it.
Reply:Try this reference. Doesnt give silver or tungsten. Try google that is what I did for this table athough I knew gold tin and iron already.





Ooops someone already gave the answers. I am not sure that Wolfram is latin, I thought that came from german.





(added): And why isn't silver argyrum, because mercury is hydrargyrum which means liquid silver or quicksilver? (just curious).





Oh and this place is even better http://environmentalchemistry.com/yogi/p...
Reply:Tungsten - Was not identified as an element until 1783 - Romans did not know it, so no Latin word.





Mercury - Argentum Vivium. Hydrargyrum is Latinized Greek. The Romans used argentum vivium - living silver.





Gold - Aurum





Silver - Argentum





Tin - Stannum only in Late Latin. Generally called Plumbum Album (White Lead) or Plumbum Candidum (Bright Lead).





Iron - Ferrum.





Both tungsten and wolfram come from Swedish, not German - 'tung sten' and 'volf rahm'.

What is the latin name for the dairy cow?

if there is one?!

What is the latin name for the dairy cow?
Cattle, colloquially referred to as cows, are domesticated ungulates, a member of the subfamily Bovinae of the family Bovidae.





Cattle did not originate as a name for bovine animals. It derives from the Latin caput, head, and originally meant movable property, especially livestock of any kind. The word is closely related to "chattel" (a unit of personal property) and "capital" in the economic sense.





Domesticated Cow





Scientific classification


Kingdom: Animalia


Phylum: Chordata


Class: Mammalia


Order: Artiodactyla


Family: Bovidae


Subfamily: Bovinae


Genus: Bos


Species: B. taurus


Binomial name


Bos taurus


LLinnaeus, 1758

Reply:The domesticated cow is Bos taurus, in the family Bovidae, subfamily Bovinae.

There is no match for dairy





Etymology: Middle English deyerie, from deye dairymaid, from Old English dǣge kneader of bread; akin to Old English dāg dough — more at dough


Date: 14th century
Reply:In Latin, Romans called milk cows boves.
Reply:If you're looking for a species name specific to dairy cattle, there is none - all domestic catlle are in the same species, both beef and dairy.





If you're looking for a Latin word for dairy cow, the simplest would be 'vacca' - that's a female, as opposed to 'taurus', male. 'Bos' was the generic word. If you wanted to be more specific, 'vacca mulgenda' - that's 'a cow for milking'.





ADDED: To say that 'boves' are milk cows would be a shock to Latin writers.





Vt bos armenta sic - As an ox follows a herd - - M. Tullius Cicero, Letters to Atticus





In prato quondam rana conspexit bovem - An Ox the Frog a-grazing view'd - Phaedrus, Fabulae Aesopiae





nam hoc argentum álibi abutar: boves, quos emerem, non erant - there were no oxen for me to buy - T. Maccius Plautus, Persa





Hard to milk an ox.





And Ovid sure knew the difference;





Tu vir et in vacca conpare taurus eras - P. Ovidius Naso, Amores





Bos, bovis is the general word - all cattle - heifers, bulls, oxen, whatever. Vacca is the female, taurus the male.

Reply:Plumbum, hence the symbol Pb.
Reply:No one told you, but plumbum, literally means, " heavy ".
Reply:Plumbum, not sure about this spelling but thats what it sounds like.
Reply:"WORD HISTORY A plumber works with water pipes, once made from lead, with lead solder for the joints. The Romans used lead pipes, and the word plumber comes from the Latin word for lead, plumbum. There is no Latin, or even Indo-European, etymology for plumbum but it bears a distant similarity to the Greek word for lead, the standard form of which, molubdos, gives us the name of another element in the Periodic Table, molybdenum. Two non-standard forms, molibos and especially bolimos, are even more similar to the Latin."
Reply:Plus, there's considerable conjecture that the Romans' use of plumbum for plumbing led to lead poisioning, accounting for the stupidity of their upper class rulers and the decline of their empire.
Reply:Plumbum. I guess because Romans used lead in their plumbing projects that the word has two meanings.

Why does scientists prefer Latin words as scientific name?

Help!! This is my hardest part!! Ummm..... Read this WARNING:I need proper answwers!!!! Dont need dumb questions!!!

Why does scientists prefer Latin words as scientific name?
Your answer can be devided in two different answer:


1) why use scientific names?


2) why scientific names ?





Keep in mind that scientific names are invented by today scientist using latin forms; they aren't real LAtin names as used in Old Rome


1) scientific name are given by scientist to individual species.


Natural languages (= spoken language) often:


- don't have name for each species; and usually Natural languages use the same name for different species: eg "worm" is a name for very different animal species, even unrelated each to other


- these names are different from language to language





2) why Latin and not a natural language (French, Spanish, English and so on)?


- Karl von Linn茅 (Linneus) had the idea of scientific two-names names (binomia nomenclature); in his age Latin was the language for educated works and essays, the language of science


- after that, it was preferable to keep using Latin, as a dead language prevent competition and jealousy between today spoken language
Reply:well, simply beacuse Latin is a dead language. anymore. It's becomes a constant language, never changing. Imagine using a growing language, it would be hard because the language keeps on developing and gaining more meaning. By using latin, it lessens the confusion.
Reply:Latin is the lingua franca of science.
Reply:for the last 2000 years or so, LATIN has been the language of scholars.





not so much now, but the habit of using latin naming and words continues.
Reply:It is the universal language of scientists so that no mistakes can be made when speaking of medical treatments, botany etc etc. Basically so that they do not have to interpret names in languages other than their own.
Reply:It is universally recognised by scientist.
Reply:Latin is used because until very recently it was universally taught in the western world and much of western Asia, ie., it is (was) widespread.


Most European languages have a lot of Latin words or its derivatives still.


Because it is no longer a living language it is supposedly unchanging and universally uniform. This last statement, sad to say, is not completely true.


Lots of Latin words are rendered differently by the living languages in use today. I was pretty disappointed to see this years ago when I started working in S. America. I was told that the renderings resulted in the same pronunciation. This was also false.


Still, the different renderings are recognizable.
Reply:becuase latin is an old langage and doesnt change, that way once you know it anyone who knows it will no what you talk bout...
Reply:Latin has been used for the purposes of religion, science, and many other things. Latin is basically the core of every language, and everyone pretty much could understand it. It basically is the formula of words, so using one of the most ancient languages that is still understandable makes perfect sense.

Reply:Most latinos are giving their kids American names.





The last latinos I know who had babies named them: Leslie, Shelley, Alex, and Alexis.





I am american, and my husband is Mexican. We chose a mediterranean name for our daughter, and will probably go with a name that is of English origin for our baby-to-be. I really want to stay away from hispanic names....just me.





If you really want a latino name, I'd go with Xavier, or Matteo, or Artemio.


For a girl, I like Jimena or Xochitl, or Paola or Paolina.





I'd skip all the funky names like Nyeli, and Yadira, and Araceli, and Bethzy....yech.

Name 5 indispensable things to pack for a Latin American trip?

Help me brainstorm what to pack! This is a several month long backpacking trip spanning Mexico to Patagonia, so absolute necessity, weight and multi-function is important. Try not to repeat what has already been answered by someone else... if you can! Thanks.

Name 5 indispensable things to pack for a Latin American trip?
A small unimpressive frameless UL backpack, a backpacking hammock so you can sleep anywhere, rain or shine, jungle or village, without worrying about insects or what's on the ground, a compass, a water purifier, a big knife like a golok.

What is the latin name for civilization?

The Latin name for civilization is "Roman." Like the Greek-speakers before them, those who spoke Latin believed language and cultural origin defined what we would now call "civilization." In short, Latin-speakers believed that the only civilization in the world was Latin-speaking civilizations (that is, the Roman Empire). Everyone else was a barbarian (a word borrowed from Greek that literally means "those who speak bar-bar," that is, any non-Greek language which sounded to them like gibberish).





Latin-speakers would not have differentiated between "Roman" and "civilization." As far as they were concerned, being "civil" and "civilized" was a trait of the Roman Empire, not a defining category.

What is the latin name for civilization?
"The word itself comes from the Latin adjective civilis, a reference to a citizen. Citizens willingly bring themselves together in political, social, economic, and religious organizations -- they merge together, that is, in the interests of the larger community. Over time, the word civilization has come to imply something beyond organization -- it refers to a particular shared way of thinking about the world as well as a reflection on that world in art, literature, drama and a host of other cultural happenings."
Reply:Barbaria, barbaries..
Reply:The word "civilization" has two origins: (1) "civis" (Latin word for citizen or townsman), and (2), civilis (the adjective form of "civis"). In this sense, being "civilized" means being a citizen, who is governed by the law of his/her city, town or community. Civilization may also refer to the culture of a particular community.

I have a plant that is called a Mexican Heather I need to know anything about it.. Latin name where?
Well, I know they will survive if you don't water them very much - I had some which were neglected and they didn't die (moved from that house and they are still alive and well). They grew about 1-1/2 to 2 feet high and spread very wide- like a ground cover would. They stayed green all year long and the blooms lasted for quite a while, too. Once, I had to trim a couple of them back and it seemed like they came back twice as big!

Does the Latin piano styling have a technical name ?

I listen to a lot of Afro-Cuban jazz etc...and the one of the most recognizable aspects is the piano that is maybe 4 or 5 notes that goes up two notes then down 3 and is repeated. I know this is not a lot to go on... but does this piano style have a technical name or is it simply "salsa piano" ? The bass usually has a similiar harmony.

Does the Latin piano styling have a technical name ?
The foreword of "The Latin Real Book" by Chuck Sher publications indicates that the term "salsa" is very broad ranging in meaning (not unlike the term "jazz"); I'm inclined to think you might be describing a montuno in the sense that the piano is playing a repeated, syncopated vamp; that term (montuno) is also used to designate a vamp section with vocal call-and-response.

Reply:not sure, sorry
Reply:hmm... if you need a good translation source, here's an excellent webiste: freedict.com i've looked around for sarah... but there doesn't seem to be one... FYI: In Latin, the names of people which are not derived from Latin are usually used the same way it's spelled (exp: "Mihi nomen est Sarah" translated: "My name is Sarah") as you see there, the name sarah did not have a translation, it is kept the way it is... So think of a word that you find interesting (cat, dog, wind, etc) and translate it. Here are some Latin names (based on my Latin book which I'm studying) Melissa, Metella, Rufilla. Hope this helped.
Reply:I know an italian girl named Sarafina (sah-rah-fee-nah) but I'm pretty sure sara is also a latin name.
Reply:There's no real equivalent, to Sarah or to 'princess.' 'Patricia' is a Roman word that eventually became a woman's name that meant a woman of the patrician caste, who were the landholders and were eligible to hold political office in the Republican period. It's probably closest in meaning to 'Sarah'.

Reply:There is no Latin equivalent for Sarah. But this might interest you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_(fema...





Here are some Latin names: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:R...
Reply:Sarah doesnt have a latin equivalent
Reply:Sara originated from Hebrew and hasn't changed much. So as Sara in English is from Latin which, in turn, was from Hebrew - then I guess its the same.





Oh - and by the way, 'Sara' means Princess in Biblical Hebrew.


What is the name of the 80s movie where the son dies and the father goes to Latin America to investigate?

I remember there was a girl friend who spends most of the time with the dad, and the dad learns about the revolution and the lies that are part of the revolution...or something like that.

What is the name of the 80s movie where the son dies and the father goes to Latin America to investigate?
Missing





It was a true story about thousands of political "disappearances"/murders during the U.S. backed coup in Chile in 1973 that killed President Salvador Allende and installed Augusto Pinochet as Dictator.


Jack Lemmon played the father and Sissy Spacek played the girl friend. Directed by Costa Gavras. One of my favorite films of the 1980s.

I know Ilex is the latin name for holly but has ilex any connection with Ivy?

Ivy's scientific name (well, most of what is called ivy, anyway) is Hedera.





The only connection I can come up with now is that both holly and ivy were sacred in pre-christian Europe, as they both are evergreen. So is mistletoe... but anyway...

A latin name combination with Daniela or Ava, please?

My boyfriend and I originally agreed on the name Ava Renee Garcia for our little girl, but his mom doesn't like Renee, so we're back to the beginning. He wants to name he Ava Daniela Garcia, but I feel like that is too sing-songy sounding. He doesn't like Grace or Leigh. We also like Annaliese, but he wants it to sound more hispanic with the right middle name combination. Our girl is due in 2 weeks and we just can't agree! Any help?





Oh, yeah. Last name is Garcia.

A latin name combination with Daniela or Ava, please?

What is the oldest tree species in the world (use the latin and common name)?

Ancient Bristlecone Pine. A specimen in California has survived for 4767 years, more than a millenia more than the next oldest tree.

What is the oldest tree species in the world (use the latin and common name)?
I don't know the Latin name, but the oldest trees currently alive are the bristlecone pines of California; they are far older than the redwoods and estimated to be over 5000 years old. If you are referring to the trees that are believed to have developed longest ago, that is a different species.

Ancient bristlecone pines (Pinus longaeva) in the Snake Range of Nevada, a few meters away from the remains of the Currey Tree, the oldest known tree of any species. The Currey Tree was, unfortunately, cut down by its discoverer, one of the saddest moments in the history of dendrochronology.

Reply:Oldest trees


The oldest trees are determined by growth rings, which can be seen if the tree is cut down or in cores taken from the edge to the centre of the tree. Accurate determination is only possible for trees which produce growth rings, generally those which occur in seasonal climates; trees in uniform non-seasonal tropical climates grow continuously and do not have distinct growth rings. It is also only possible for trees which are solid to the centre of the tree; many very old trees become hollow as the dead heartwood decays away. For some of these species, age estimates have been made on the basis of extrapolating current growth rates, but the results are usually little better than guesswork or wild speculation.





The verified oldest measured ages are (Gymnosperm Database):





Great Basin Bristlecone Pine Pinus longaeva: 4844 years


Alerce Fitzroya cupressoides: 3622 years


Giant Sequoia Sequoia sempervirens: 3266 years


Huon-pine Lagarostrobos franklinii: 2500 years


Rocky Mountains Bristlecone Pine Pinus aristata: 2435 years


Why do a lot of latin or hispanic families name their sons Jesus?

In the UK I don't know of anyone that has named their child Jesus

Why do a lot of latin or hispanic families name their sons Jesus?
Its pronounced differently and somewhat intended to name their son after the Christian religious Christ. Its a cultural thing, mostly, since many hispanics are very religious.





Milagros (Miracle), Concepcion (Conception), Maria (Mary), Jose (Joseph), Gabriel (Angel), a lot of hispanic names are based off of biblical people in the Catholic/Christian religion.
Reply:Because they have a lot of unexplained pregnancies!





Chaching!





"I didn't cheat on you... it was an immaculate conception!"
Reply:Jesus is just the Spanish version of Joshua, which is a perfectly common name in the UK.
Reply:lol they tend to be deeply religious unlike the uk.
Reply:They like the name I guess. Maybe they feel it brings purity depending on their beliefs.


Can anyone tell me how the name of Marvin get to Latin America?

My name is Marvin and many people of the country of El Salvador have this name. My question is how did this welsh name get to this country with Spanish and Indian roots?

Can anyone tell me how the name of Marvin get to Latin America?
Many Welsh settled in South America. There are some towns (especially in Argentina - I've been there) that only speak Welsh Gaelic instead of Spanish, Portuguese, English, or their Native tongue.
Reply:A lot of English names came to countries in Central America by way of British intervention in the region. Basically, the British brought slaves from Africa to help them establish territory. That is the reason why most of the Atlantic coasts of countries in this region have large populations of people with African descent and they carry not only the English language but also English names and the Protestant religion. Here is an exmaple of a Central American with an English name:

Does this Latin name mean what I think it does?

Lanea Cunicula.





Further to my last question - which no one answered (What is "fluffy bunny" in Latin), I came up with Laneus (woollen, downy, fluffy) Cuniculus (rabbit).





So if I'm right, Lanea Cunicula would mean (female) fluffy bunny.


Does that sound right?

Does this Latin name mean what I think it does?
Just be careful using that, since cunicula had another meaning in Latin, one that still exists in English as a four letter word starting with the same three letters.

Please would somebody tell me the Greek or Latin name for the science dealing with sharks?
ichthyologist but specifically sharks is a shark biologist








So, You Wanna Be a Shark Biologist


I receive queries about how to become a shark biologist at least a dozen times a month. The assumption seems to be that, since I am out there doing it and apparently quite successful at it, I must know "the secret".





I am a little uneasy about answering questions about how to become a shark biologist. This is in part because I get the distinct impression that most question askers have a somewhat glorified or idealized perception of what shark research entails and partly because I'm not sure that how I got where I am is a reliable path to recommend others to follow. My own path has been a strange mix of very traditional and highly unorthodox steps, requiring equal parts perseverance, hard work, and sheer luck.





About half of all queries about breaking into shark research ask specifically how to get be a Great White researcher. These make me very nervous. Sure, working with White Sharks is really neat, but setting out to be among the very, very few to study these rare and elusive creatures as a full-time career is a bit like setting out to become an astronaut. Frankly, you have a significantly better chance of becoming head of a Fortune 500 corporation than you have of becoming a full-time White Shark researcher.





For those of you who are unwavering in your certainty that shark research is what you really want to pursue as a career, I offer the following advice based on my own experience as well as that of many of my colleagues. It is offered in good faith and to the best of my abilities. But I cannot guarantee that if you follow my advice you absolutely, positively will end up a shark biologist.





Your best strategy is probably to blend my advice with that of your parents, professors, and friends and - above all - trust your instincts to help you find your own path 鈥?just as I have done.
Reply:An ichthyologist studies fish. I don't know if there is a special name for somebody who just studies sharks.
