What does the word "a" mean in Latin?
824909
I'll try to answer, Latin is one language and Spanish is another, however 'a' in latin is the first letter of the alphabet and means the beginning. Now in Spanish 'a' is a vocal and it's also a preposition in other words it connects words as we do in English, like I am going to eat, in Spanish would be voy a comer, in this case the to in English is replaced by the 'a' in Spanish, I hope this be of help to your project..☺

The English alphabet is derived from the Roman and Greek alphabets.  These are derived from Phoenician script, which dates to about @,500 BCE.  "A" is one of those letters - but all of them are the same age.\n\nThe "A," by the way, came from a Phoenician letter that was sideways and meant an ox with its horn prominent.  The Phoenician word for "ox" corresponded with the sound of the letter.  This was an immense breaktrhough in language and writing, using letters to mean sounds rather than whole ideas, and made all of our modern language work possible - unless, of course, you are Chinese.

I don`t know in others languages, but in Romanian (my native language) means "taking part" in some action, here in past tense. In Latin I believe is the same thing.

It's "a universal".\n\nThe choice of whether to use "a" or "an" depends on whether the following word begins with a vowel sound or a consonant sound.  "Universal", even though it begins with the letter "u", begins with a consonant sound (yuh), so the appropriate choice is "a".

Something like "manliness is the door to respect."\nThe Latin "virtus" is in classical Latin not the same as "virtue", it means "male" virtues, like courage and strength. It is connected to "vir"=man, and "honor" had also a slight shift in meaning since it's been taken over into English.

Usually it refers to people who lived before the sack of Rome in the early 5th century AD. It's very non-specific, though, and the precise meaning depends upon the context.

It is Latin and means "let us love our own," not our love. Amemus is a verb, not a noun.

It is et cetera, which is Latin for "and so on and so forth." Just remember that it's two words, because you'll look uneducated if you spell it as one like some of the people above. :)
