The Romance Languages Comparison
It was implied in the 19th century .
An implicit idea. You probably know about the Women History in the Western Word. The same tacit concept is inferred in Miss, Mademoiselle, Dominicella, Signorina etc.
''Does a woman need to be a virgin to be called senhorina in lusophone countries?''
Nope, senhorinha is never used in Brazil (at least in speech) while senhorita is still used. Senhorinha sounds dated (19th century word), but senhorita sounds just a bit formal, it's a respectful (and/or sometimes ironic) word for a young lady: http://youtube.com/watch?v=d4k9t7Bswj4

<<Although the conjugations of the Spanish and Portuguese "to be" are derived from esse, their infinitive ser is taken from the Latin verb sedere "to sit".>>
Lt sedere became in Portuguese "assentar", which (among other things) means "to be" > "ser", not literally "to sit". Lt. sedentare (to sit) Pt. sentar Lt. sedentariu (sedentary. always seated down!) Pt. sedentário Fr. sédentaire <<The Spanish corazón and Portuguese coração come from L. coratione[m], the source of French and English courage.>> I heard Pt. coragem (courage) came from Lt. cor which, in its evolved form "coraco", meant coração (heart). I may be wrong. <<Spanish, Portuguese, and Sardinian all take quaerere "to inquire" as the verb meaning "to want", giving Sp. and Port. querer and Sard. kérrere. >> Think Lt. velle >> Sp. voler Lt. quaerere (to look for, to want) Pt. querer Sp. querer Fr. quérir Lt. inquirire (to inquire) Pt. inquirir Fr. enquérir
<<Domicella -Lat.
Donzela -Port. Mademoiselle -Fr.>> Mademoiselle> Ma (my) + demoiselle Think the more correct would be Lt. dominicella Fr. demoiselle Pt. donzela |
