hardly satisfactory mark Explanation: Hi Elizabeth, I don't think you'll have to translate this latin expression. In your context it means that the exam was marked hardly satisfactory. vix = hardly, with difficulty satis = sufficient, satisfactory On the English web page http://www.lordbath.co.uk/42_1.htm vix satis is used in the same context. "I fared better myself, although I had no reason to feel proud of my results. Several of my papers were marked Vix Satis - which implied only marginal acceptance of the standard I had attained" Carla Aula lat>nl Van Dale En>Nl |
