How to say "Winter Wind"?
This is kind of urgent. I just wanna know the equal Latin term and I dont have much time to search it. A friend of mine say that "winter wind" in Latin is "hiemalis ventus"; but he's not so sure. Is that correct? I would be grateful if someone can help me with this.

Re: How to say "Winter Wind"?
Your friend is correct in regards to a literal translation. If it's applicable, you could probably also use the word "hiems," which means winter, but also caries the meaning of a winter storm.apple_candy wrote:This is kind of urgent.

Salve Dulciolum Malinum,
Rectè dicit Thesaurus. As Thesaurus says, ventus hiemalis and ventus hibernus are good.
If you say hiemalis ventus you're emphasizing that it's a winter wind (as opposed to another sort). Saying ventus hiemalis gives no special emphasis and is how you would normally say it.
"Hiemalis verbis" in dicendo, primum verbum emphasin habet. De "ventus hiemalis", emphasis deest. Hoc communiter dicis.
