It is a random text "Lorem Ipsum" ... (see explanantion below)

I~ve found it out!
Please see reference below:
http://www.webdevtips.com/webdevtips/codegen/ipsum.shtml

Lorem Ipsum is dummy text normally used as a placeholder for final text. The paragraphs of text follow the same definition of proper written text with one difference, it doesn't make any sense. This means that your content gives the appearance of properly formatted text on your page.

If you have ever tried to get feedback on the layout of a site and perhaps used some brochure text supplied by the client, you can waste a lot of time discussing content as opposed to appearance and layout. Now because the content looks properly structured but makes no sense to anyone, no time is wasted discussing content, typos or bad grammar - that ceases to be a problem.

It is normally the clients job to provide content - but they tend to be very slow at providing it. By using well structured nonsense text you can do what you are paid to do and not waste your time and lose money writing the site content.

Here is an example of a Lorem Ipsum paragraph

Morbi leo mi, nonummy eget, tristique non, rhoncus non, leo. Nullam faucibus mi quis velit. Integer in sapien. Fusce tellus odio, dapibus id, fermentum quis, suscipit id, erat. Fusce aliquam vestibulum ipsum. Aliquam erat volutpat. Pellentesque sapien. Cras elementum. Nulla pulvinar eleifend sem. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Quisque porta. Vivamus porttitor turpis ac leo.

As you can see it has the appearance of a well structured paragraph.

It is pseudo-Latin

It is nonsense designed to look like Latin.

see explanation

yes as my colleagues said it is Latin

from what I gather this is what it means but <I am stuck on the word eleifend is it in one word?
the rest is as follows:
Vivamus = may we live
luctus: sorrow grief
risus: laughs

but is seems to be the wrong cases

keep me informed

Goodnight

Peer comment(s):

disagree Scott Horne (X) : NO, it is NOT Latin. That's why you can't find the word _eleifend_: there is no such word.

let's live filled with sorrow (mourning) and joy

it's, it's definitely Latin!

I think, "eleifend" is a mistake from "efferti" part. perf. and adj. of "effarcio" with the meaning of "filled with" "full of".

And the meaning is that life is made of sorrow and joy. Luctus and risus are of course gen.
