tempus imperfectum diminutum

The word tempo came into English by way of Italian, tracing all the way back to the Latin word tempus, meaning time. It was originally used to describe the timing of music, or the speed at which a piece of music is played.

Basic time signatures: 4/4, also known as common time; 2/2, also known as cut time or cut-common time (cut time); plus 2/4; 3/4; and 6/8. The most common simple time signatures are 2/4, 3/4, and 4/4.

Tempus perfectum is a term from the late medieval period that referred to the rhythmic metre designated today by the time signature 9/8. It indicates a meter of three beats per bar, each of which is subdivided into three smaller units.

Prolation describes whether a semibreve (whole note) is equal in length to two minims (half notes) (minor prolation or imperfect prolation; in Latin "prolatio minor") or, like a tuplet, three minims (major prolation or perfect prolation; in Latin "prolatio maior").

Tempus (pronounced: /ˈtɛmpʌs/ TEM-pus), was the greater god of war in the Faerûnian pantheon. The dogma of the Lord of Battles was primarily concerned with honorable combat, forbidding cowardice and encouraging the use of force of arms to settle disputes.

The next word is tempus, temporis, n., meaning “time,” “occasion” or “opportunity.” It's a third- declension neuter noun.

For example, if the bottom number is a 4, it means that you will be counting in quarter notes. So, what does 4/4 mean in music? In the 4/4 time signature, the numbers tell you that each measure will contain four quarter note beats. So each time you tap the beat, you're tapping the equivalent of one-quarter note.

A time signature of 4/4 means count 4 (top number) quarter notes (bottom number) to each bar. So the pulse, or beat, is counted 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on. That means all the notes in each bar must add up to 4 quarter notes. Any combination of rhythms can be used as long as they add up to 4 quarter notes.

time The Latin word "tempus" means "time" in English. It literally means Time a opposed to hours. Tempus fugit, time flies, means things happens quickly.

The next word is tempus, temporis, n., meaning “time,” “occasion” or “opportunity.” It's a third- declension neuter noun.

Past tense (perfect) This kind of past tense is called a perfect tense. It is used to describe an action in the past which is completed. To describe a past action or state which is incomplete, we use an imperfect tense. This tense indicates an action which has gone on over a period time or has happened frequently.

Examples of imperfect in a Sentence Adjective It's an imperfect solution to a difficult problem. He had an imperfect understanding of the task. In “He was singing when I came in,” “was singing” is in the imperfect tense.
