Remember to die is the literal translation.\n\nI've googled for it to find more info than just the translation. Here is some more info:\n\nMemento mori is a Latin phrase that may be freely translated as "Remember that you are mortal" or "Remember your death" (literally "remember mortality"). It names a genre of artistic creations that vary widely from one another, but which all share the same purpose, which is to remind people of their own mortality. \n\nFor more info you can click the link.\n\nTiff

I've heard of it, it's in India.Not only the future, but also the significant things in the past. Forgot where though. You will have to ask your Indian contacts.  Apparently the que is so long you can't imagine it.  They even reveal when you will pass away.

i think it means you died a quick painless death or something like that.  i have heard somewhere that if a person is murdered and they saw their attacker that there is an impression that is left on the eye or something (not sure exactly how it goes......)  but at any rate, i dont think it means you deserved to die.

EASY explanation....\n\nPreterito: is an action that has happened in the past, and that has ended. The time has a certain and determined frequency. ( I visited Buenos Aires three summers in a row / Visite Buenos Aires tres veranos seguidos.)\n\nImperfecto: is an action that has begun but has not necessarely ended. The speaker is centered in the action and progress of it, not in the timeframe. ( Yo visitaba a mi abuela en Buenos Aires / I used to visit my grandma in Buenos Aires) \n\nEndings in "ABA" and "IA" in conjugated verbs usually have to do with "imperfecto".  ;)\n\nMORE in detail.... \n\nAlthough the English simple past in a sentence such as "he ate" can be conveyed in Spanish using either the preterite (comió) or the imperfect indicative (comía), the two tenses are not interchangeable. In general, the preterite is used when speaking of completed action, that is, when the verb refers to an action that has a clear end. On the other hand, the other past tense is known as an imperfect tense because "imperfect" can also mean "incomplete"; the imperfect indicative is used to refer to an action that doesn't have a specific ending. (At this point, it isn't important to know the meaning of "indicative," except that it contrasts with "subjunctive," a verb type that usually isn't studied by beginning students.) Following are some more specific uses that should clarify the difference; note that the imperfect is frequently translated in ways other than the English simple past. \n\nThe preterite is used: \n\nTo tell of something that happened once — Fui ayer a la tienda. (I went to the store yesterday.) Escribí la carta. (I wrote the letter.) \n\nTo tell of something that happened more than once but with a specific end — Fui ayer a la tienda seis veces. (I went to the store six times yesterday.) Leyó el libro cinco veces. (He read the book five times.) \n\nTo indicate the beginning or end of a process — Tuvo frío. (He got cold.) El huracán se terminó a las ocho. (The hurricane was over at 8.) \n\nThe imperfect indicative is used: \n\nTo tell of past habitual or repeated actions — Iba a la tienda. (I used to go to the store.) Leíamos los libros. (We would read the books.) Lavaban los manos. (They would wash their hands.) Escribía muchas cartas. (I wrote many letters.) \n\nTo describe a condition, mental state, or state of being from the past — Había una casa aquí. (There used to be a house here.) Era estúpido. (He was stupid.) No te conocía. (I didn't know you.) Quería estar feliz. (He wanted to be happy.) Tenía frío. (He was cold.) \n\nTo describe an action that occurred over an unspecified time — Se lavaban los manos. (They were washing their hands.) Cuando José tocaba el piano, María comía. (While José was playing the piano, María was eating.) \n\nTo indicate time or age in the past — Era la una de la tarde. (It was 1 p.m.) Tenía 43 años. (She was 43 years old.) \n\n*********************************************************\n\nSee below a link to test your knowledge and see if you got it right! \n\nhttp://spanish.about.com/library/weekly/aa022299.htm\n\nGood luck to you! :)

I think you'd have to put it in context to get a decent answer (at least from someone who hasn't read the article to which you refer).  It could mean any number of things depending on the sentences that preceded or followed it.

What is this referring to? Can you post a clarification?

Auguri means best wishes for any holiday.\n\nYou can say buona festa della mamma for happy mothers day.\n\nYou can write,\nAuguri,\nBuona festa della mamma.  Io spero che stai bene e che hai una bella giornata oggi.  Lo meriti per tutto che fai per tua famiglia.\n\nThat means:\nI hope that you are well and you have a wonderful day today.  You deserve it for all that you do for your family.\n\n\nI'm sure that she'll appreciate that.\n\n\n**I just read the other answers above and they're a little off as far as gender and grammar.

"When" is not a question- rather an assertation of the eventuality of all things.  As all things are in constant change; eventually, all things become all things.  There is no "if", only "when".\n\nFurther, "now", is the essence of this very moment.  Just as an object can either be precisely measured in space or velocity- but not both- so is the everchanging world around us measurable only in the moment.  "Now" is synonymous, therefore, with "what".\n\nSince all things in their eventuality are the same, and yet immeasurable when removed from their essence, and all things measured are themselves momentary, so too are all things when, all things if, all things now, and all things what.  The world defies our attempts to measure it, and escapes our understanding as soon as we require it.

Buddy, your query holds weight in all of its concern, yet to monotonous these days to my knowledge. Since I have soothed such a query in past, I am withdrawn to another fabrication. Yet my previous answers weaved in a way can subside your curiosity as well. Consume a chunk of your time reading it. It may also answer your other questions: -\n\nThe concept holds itself in such an abstruse enigma, that centuries have failed to decipher its existence in a logical form. Scores of fiction writers have sculpted sci-fi books upon the behavior of time. We all have speculated over the so-called ‘Time Travel’ and have rummaged over the numerous possibilities that it may offer.\n\nFor the sweet sake of knowledge, once in a while, just sit down and think over the existence of time. When one questions ‘What is life?’ one is indirectly doubting his flow in time. Sometimes, time bears mercy upon you and hastens up, yet at other times, bestows upon you the curse of its viscous flow.\n\nYet, in reality what WE call time, is nothing but a theoretical fabrication that we, humans have crafted so as to better understand this “Fourth Dimension”. We assume we recognize time and its workings, yet mark my letters, we know absolutely N-O-T-H-I-N-G. We mortals imprint everything that we perceive in our brain, and then we analyze over it, yet never in its crude form. We find ourselves confined to the rigid boundaries of our senses. We bear to our knowledge the sphere of our vision and touch.\n\nThe notion bears itself in utmost simplicity. We can only conclude on matters we are able perceive in a correct mannerism. We do not bear such a sense organ nor are we able to implement over 4% of our brain, so as to perceive the concept of time in a proper ideology. Therefore we cannot chisel a concept concrete enough to bear the yoke of our questions.\n \nWe foolish mortals don’t even have the ability to measure time in its proper state. The state of time is always subjected to our memory, thoughts, personality, the circumstances, and innumerable other factors. You can’t even correspond two events in the same mannerism! Fragments from your memory are always erased, resulting to the unjustifiable way in which we perceive time.\n\nYet we can ALWAYS speculate! And we HAVE speculated! In such speculations, we have come to many ways to understand time. Scientists were entangled in similar doubts, yet they fashioned a theory that best satisfied the debatable world of ‘Philosophical Physics’. The theory states that time is completely relative to the individual who experiences it and furthermore a relationship exists between the three basic dimensions of space and time, leading to the birth of the space-time ideology. (I swear they stole the idea from me!)\n\nAnother speculation (Fasten your seatbelts for a Psycho Ride!). Suppose time is a fabric. (A complete supposition) A vast expanse of infinite non-molecular material. This fabric is existent yet not perceivable by our limited senses. If we are to possess a way to make a ‘cut’ in this fabric, we CAN gain access to two different periods in time. But then again, that is theoretical, and humanly impossible. \n\nSo far we have considered time to be a concept in whose relation we all exist. But in technical truth, time is relative to every individual! What we consider time is the manufacture of us mortals. What if time exists independently for everyone? When one perishes, he actually repeats his so called 'life'. Perhaps the period from the Big Bang to the collapse of the universe has repeated itself millions of times already! There is no telling, for there is no concrete platform, to which we can relate existence. We just have to relate everything to everything else!\n\n Now those are speculations. No one can state them correct or incorrect, for one does not bear a perception that great. Perhaps we are just the play-stuff of a superior colossal existence. Then again, what is existence?

It means that there would be no further hearings or court action... to complete the thought you'd need the context - it could be deferral pending some event or time ... you didn't give enough facts to fully answer.

This may be more information than you want.  I'll apologize in advance.  \n\nAs two words, the context tends to be, "The blood stained the carpet."  noun/verb.\n\nThe other two seem to most people to be interchangable.  Here's the detail part.  When compund words enter the language, they typically begin as a hyphenated word.  As they become more common, the hyphen drops out, thus creating a true compound.  Therefore, after a certain period of time, the hyphenated version will become obsolete.\n\nAs a side note, you might want to check different dictionaries.  Webster's tends to be more prescriptive, meaning it attempts to influence our language and usage.  America Heritage tends to be more descriptive -- just telling what it is we do with the language.  \n\nAgain, I apologize if that was more than what you wanted to know.

It says 'pitagora suicchi'- this literally means 'Pitagora Switch'. \n\nI just checked on Yahoo Japan for you, and it looks like it is the name of a kind of cartoon show. I've never seen it before though, so I can't tell you anything about the contents of the show.

I believe you're thinking of Ciao, the Italian word for goodbye.  I'm not 100% sure of the spelling or that it's Italian, but I'm fairly confident.

Colossal = gigantic, enormous. This was derived from the famous "colossus of Rhodes" a giant statue that supposedly straddled the harbor's mouth.\nProcession = a parade, a line of things that is moving. A processional is an activity where the participants march into a room in a certain order as part of a ceremony\nHinder = to prevent someone from accomplishing a task or objective. The obstacle itself is called a 'hindrance'.\nMiniscule = very, very tiny. A speck of dust is miniscule in comparison to the planet earth.\nRecession = to draw back, to draw away from. Or an economic downturn characterized by inflation and low wages and little change in the gross domestic product.
