Does you sister fit this definition? ;)Quote:
Татьяна упряма, властна, целеустремленна, не терпит возражений, порой деспотична. Это очень эмоциональный, артистичный человек с огромным обаянием. Эгоцентрична, не сентиментальна.
zdravo Невена,
Can I ask you what these sentences mean?
"Белград - один из древнейших городов Европы, история которого продолжается полных 7000 лет. В бурном прошлом, Белград завоевывало 40 армий, и 38 раз он был отстроен заново из пепла."
hvala lepa

I would like to thank everybody on their posts
Dhz, Tatiana is not a Greek name, it is a Slavic name. Sorry, I don’t know about its origin.
According to Twelve Stories from Russia, Tatyana is one of the five russian names for girls. =:^)
I didn't say it's Greek, I said it came from Greek language (maybe ancient Greek, I don't know). That's what I've read, as we say "за что купил, за то и продаю" =)Quote:

I didn't mean you're not right or something. I pointed humbly at the things written posts ago.
It's not worth arguing...
Hm, all this is kinda tricky... But then maybe it was really the female form of the Latin name Tatius just as the dictionary tells.
Греческо, is there a word like "tatto" in Greek?
Btw, does anybody know where had St. Tatiana lived? Greece? :roll:
No, there is not a word like ''tatto'' in Greek. What similar to this comes to my mind is ''tafto'' which is a form of the word 'this' in ancient Greek.Quote:

sorry, i can't read this with no smile))
What I was quite sure about was she was not Greek. The name's origin must be Latin then :D .Quote:

I strongly believe it's Greek. But what's the difference? :D
Not a big deal, of course. Just curious. :)
Everybody says it comes from the Greek "tatto" and yet a native Greek-speaker says he doesn't know such a word. It can be some Ancient Greek root, of course, absent in the modern language...
It must be a root of 8000 years ago or something to don't know it :? . The ancient and modern Greek are not a different language, just many word meanings and grammar forms changed. And I don't know a word called ''tatto''. Tatos, tati, tato is the finishings of the superlative form in both ancient and modern Greek (ex. supreme court: Anotato dikastirio)but I don't think there is not a word tatto itself, except if you spell it wrong.Quote:

Try "Татьяна от греческого tatto" at yandex.ru, and you will see. :)
Татьяна: происходит оно от греческого слова tatto - устанавливать, определять, назначать.Quote:

There is a form of ''τάσσω'' which becomes ''τάττω'', it sounds like about ''tatto'' :roll:. But when I see tatto and I see the finishing 'o' and not 'ω' I think of an adjective.
However I tried to find the origin of the name Tatiana in the Greek web, and I didn't found even a site where it says that the origin is Greek, as the female finishing -ana is not Greek. I still think the name is Latin :) .
Yep, now I would vote for Latin too. :)
