I often hear people in the UK use the term "bloody".
It is used in movies and literature too. In fact, I sometimes use it here in the States.
I have asked people to describe it's meaning and origin, but I haven't had any bloody-good answers yet.

I would like to know the origin and evolution of the word more than the meaning. Does anyone really know?

estoy is for something that could change..soy is like permenent or something that will always be like that.

I think it is "Estoy timida" because you can change your personality...like today you are shy but tomorrow you are brave. but why some people say it is :Soy timida ?

I am looking to modify 'Veni, vidi, vici' to read 'I came, I swam, I conquered'. Unfortunately we didn't do Latin at my school, in fact we barely did English. Please can anyone help.

Thanks

I'm working on a short piece of fiction where I've used "aeternum vale" as farewell forever, but I'd like to say "forever" as in, no more farewells, this is forever.

I did some research online and came up with "aeternus", "perpetuo" and "aevitas". Are any of those right?
