What does term mean in Latin?

Question

Charlene Schinner · Answer

Bonus means "good", but it is the masculine form of the adjective, so it would be used with only masculine nouns; when used without a noun, it would have to signify a male person, "good man". The plural of bonus is boni, "good men".

"A good thing" would have to be the neuter form, bonum; plural bona "good things". Adjectives are listen in dictionaries by their masculine forms, so using bonus to mean "a good thing" looks as though someone looked it up in a dictionary who didn't know any Latin. That is why the Oxford English Dictionary speculates that the non-Latin word bonus (as used in English and many other languages) was coined either as a joke or by someone ignorant:

[Bonus:] An ignorant or jocular application of L. bonus 'good (man)', probably intended to signify a boon, 'a good thing' (bonum). Prob. originally Stock Exchange slang.

The Latin word for 'in' is just simply the same word: 'in'. This can also mean 'on'.

Note that the preposition "in" in Latin can be paired with and object of the preposition in either the accusative OR ablative case. When used with an accusative case noun, the meaning is "into", when used with an ablative case, the meaning is "in".

Example:

Ambulō in casam (accusative), "I walk into the house."

Sum in casā (ablative), "I am in the house."

Or, since Latin verbs usually come at the end of a sentence, "In casam ambulō", and "In casā sum."
