what it means
Vivax in Latin means long-lived, from vivere, to live — and vivacious kept the living and dropped the length. It is aliveness you can see from across a room. In the drawing nothing is happening to her; she is simply talking, hair moving, hands up, a laugh already on the way, and the sparks are drawn in around her because that is what the word feels like. Be careful with it, though. Vivacious is used almost only of women, and often about how a woman looks rather than what she does, which is why lively is the safer word for anybody else.
Vivax en latín es 'que vive mucho'; vivacious se quedó con la vida y soltó la duración. Es una vida que se ve desde el otro lado de la sala. En el dibujo no le pasa nada: habla, el pelo se mueve, la risa ya viene, y las chispas están dibujadas alrededor porque así se siente la palabra. Ojo: casi siempre se dice de mujeres; para otros, lively es más seguro.
Vivax, em latim, é 'que vive muito'; vivacious ficou com a vida e largou a duração. É uma vida que se vê do outro lado da sala. No desenho nada acontece com ela: fala, o cabelo balança, o riso já vem vindo, e as fagulhas estão desenhadas em volta porque é assim que a palavra soa. Atenção: é dito quase só de mulheres. Para os demais, lively é mais seguro.
Vivax, en latin, veut dire « qui vit longtemps » ; vivacious a gardé la vie et laissé la durée. Une vitalité qui se voit de l'autre bout de la pièce. Dans le dessin, rien ne lui arrive : elle parle, ses cheveux bougent, le rire arrive déjà, et les étincelles sont dessinées autour d'elle. Attention : on le dit presque uniquement des femmes ; sinon, lively est plus sûr.
Dalam bahasa Latin vivax berarti 'berumur panjang'; vivacious menyimpan hidupnya dan membuang panjangnya. Ini keadaan hidup yang terlihat dari seberang ruangan. Di gambar tak ada apa pun yang terjadi padanya: ia bicara, rambutnya bergerak, tawanya sudah dalam perjalanan. Hati-hati: kata ini hampir selalu dipakai untuk perempuan.
Latince vivax 'uzun yaşayan' demek; vivacious yaşamı tutmuş, uzunluğu bırakmış. Odanın öbür ucundan görülebilen bir canlılıktır. Çizimde ona hiçbir şey olmuyor: konuşuyor, saçı savruluyor, kahkaha yolda. Dikkat: bu kelime neredeyse yalnızca kadınlar için kullanılır; başkası için lively daha güvenlidir.
ラテン語の vivax は「長く生きる」。vivacious は「生きている」ほうを残し、「長く」を落としました。部屋の反対側からでも見える生気のことです。絵では、彼女に何かが起きているわけではありません。話し、髪が揺れ、笑いがもう来ている。まわりの光は、この語の感触そのものです。注意:ほぼ女性にだけ使われる語で、ほかの人には lively のほうが安全です。
