As an aside, where does "dominate" as a noun come from? Here, in the UK, a dominant dominates - or at least it does round where I live.

You beat me to it.

I'm particularly interested in countries like Russia, Germany, Japan, China, Korea, etc...
"Dominates" is one, not sure which language that is though.

Well actually I was using the word dominates as a general term for Master's and Mistress's but the links do help thank you.



Dominates is a VERB. You CANNOT be a verb. Masters and Mistresses can dominate but they CANNOT be dominates.



xssve -> RE: What are some titles used for dominates in foreign countries? (1/29/2012 9:09:27 AM)

Yeah, I think that's been covered.

Dominate does, I believe, derive from the Latin, dominant or dominus:

quote:

Word origin: Latin, dominant- (s. of domināns, prp. of dominārī, to dominate), equiv. to domin(us), master + -ant.



xssve -> RE: What are some titles used for dominates in foreign countries? (1/29/2012 9:12:45 AM)

I believe Domus means home, Dominus, master (or mistress) of the house.

So that should hold for any romance language, dunno about other languages.

My Greek sklavos calls me, "Afentra mou" ... though of course neither word here is in the Greek alphabet (i.e. Αφεντρα)... and I keep getting the grammar wrong since both "mistress" and "slave" though nouns are spelled/pronounced differently depending on their use... hence the expression "It's all Greek to me!" [:D]

In Japanese, it's "sensei".  

sensei is also commonly used to refer to teachers, lawyers and doctors.

this page is useful for other ones. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_honorifics#Senpai.2C_K.C5.8Dhai_and_Gakusei

Well that is a lovely way to start a Sunday morning.  I have to do some work now, believe it or not, but I do appreciate your sultryosity.  I hope you have a very pleasant day.



As someone who is always generous about correcting the use of the English language by others, I thought you'd appreciate realizing the word you were most probably looking for was actually "sultriness," not "sultryosity," (which actually doesn't exist.)

But no problem! Mr. Webster and I are happy to oblige lest "many people will think you are uneducated."

Enjoy!

Interestingly enough, the word "Dominus is Latin for "God" or "the Lord." "Dominari" is to Master or control, according to my friend Mr. Webster! (He and I go wayyyy back! LOL) "Dominate" is to rule over or control.
I think the English language is really interesting, myself!

Enjoy!

I am quite certain that he did, indeed, mean sultryosity. That it has never been a part of your
vocabulary does not diminish it's authenticity, nor it's intended meaning. Webster be damned.

Poise, I seem to have dropped my dictionary.  Bend over and pick it up for me, won't you?

Bizarrladies is also used in Germany

If you continue to do that, many people will think you are uneducated and without realtime experience. Or you could use the more correct word "dominant." Your choice.


So, so true, this is one of my more useful tools in weeding out prospective doms. I restrain myself and don't correct them though--I want that particular red flag to keep on flying for others.



Luxara -> RE: What are some titles used for dominates in foreign countries? (1/29/2012 1:14:53 PM)

Germans sometimes simply use English terms, besides that:

Master - would literally mean "Meister", but people say "Herr"
Mistress - people say "Herrin" (again not the literal meaning)
Sir is used sometimes

Ahhh....so then that should probably hold true for everyone, yes? (Smiles) Wonderful!!
And it has nothing to do with "my" vocabulary, poise. (Shrugs) Google it and you can damn more that just Webster's! (Ha!)

Not just probably, but absolutely! However, I don’t see anyone else bothered by the
use of the word. Isn’t it lonely on that podium?

Perhaps I should clarify. What I meant by your vocabulary, Clicky, was that it’s very apparent
that you aren’t familiar with the art of flirting, and thus, would not understand that there is no need for
a dictionary. In fact, made up words often add to the playfulness of the exchange.

(curtsies and twirls my hair while smiling)

*adores poise and her sultryosity*



hangemhigh1953 -> RE: What are some titles used for dominates in foreign countries? (1/29/2012 9:49:03 PM)

Well here in English speaking countries, we use the term "Dominant" for what you call a "dominate".

Actually poisey, I was just trying to make a point with RedMagic. Sorry if you assumed I was addressing you to begin with.
And as for a podium, you'd best be careful with that curtsy lest you fall off yours. It looks really high up from down here.
Take care!
