Q

Give the literal translation for the Latin phrase ars longa, vīta brevis.

A

Literal translation: art (is) long, life (is) short.

Fun Fact: This expression makes sense when you think how works of art may live on long after their creators are dead. Vīta, which means “life” in Latin, gives us the English words “vital” and “vitamin.” Brevis gives us “abbreviate.”

Q

Give the literal translation and more common meaning for the Latin phrase dē gustibus nōn est disputāndum.

A

Literal translation: concerning tastes there is to be no dispute
More common meaning: there is no accounting for tastes

Fun Fact: In French people say, “Chacun a son gout,” “Each to his own taste.” In English, we say, “To each his own,” or “Different strokes for different folks.” And you may know an old song that goes, “You say tomayto, I say tomahto…” All of these expressions remind us that different people like different things.

Q

Give the literal translation for the Latin phrase dē mortuīs nīl nisi bonum.

A

Literal translation: about the dead (say) nothing except good

Fun Fact: The Latin preposition dē can have several meanings including “down from,” “from,” “concerning,” or “about.” Mortuīs is related to the English word “mortal” that means a “human being.” Nīl is a shortened form of nihil that you learned in the phrase, calvo turpius est nihil comato. This phrase talks about dead people specifically, but anyone who is not present to defend himself should be safe from criticism or gossip.
