The word "eternity"

Glausp · Post by **Glausp** » 28 Jul 2005 04:35

Hi, all!

Greetings from the sunny, funny, disorganized and violent city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!

Please, I'd like to have the word "eternity" translated into as many languages as possible. If applies, always in original characters, if possible, for use on a web page.

My e-mail: gptheol @ globo.com

Yes you can. "Veşnicie" is a bit more frequent, "eternitate" is a neologism.
There are also two adjectives corresponding to each one of these nouns. "Veşnic" and "etern", meaning "eternal". Again, "etern" is a neologism.

As I understand, Veşnicie/Veşnic is taken from surrounding slavic languages, isn't it ?
