The singular to vii is viu (masculin) or vie (feminin) and according to the Romanian dictionary it comes from the Latin vivus. I guess a v just got lost on the way :) Vogon Poet: Don't worry, I like your questions, they make me think about things that I usually take for granted.

You're right, the date it's not in the orthodox calendar but it is celebrated in some parts of Romania as "The Day of the Dead", especially in Transylvania. AB: Thanks.

At first, I thought you chose this topic because of All Saints Day on November 1.Then I realised this date probably has no significance in the Eastern Orthodox calendar.

Are you sure there isn't any symbolism about the number seven? In Latin 'alive' would be vivi if referred to more than a person and, as 'morti', it is the same in Latin and Italian.
