sin just means "disobedience of God's law" or however you want to phrase it.

sin means without. http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/sin Go ahead and mod me funny or anything else if you wan to, but I believe this to be the derivation of the english language word: to be without the presence of God.

I can't pretend to know every word in every language, but my extensive travels in Mexico have not exposed me to nova at all, let alone meaning new.

In Latin, nova is a first declension feminine meaning 'new' (where 'novus' is the masculine'). In Spanish, the most common word for new is 'nuevo/a' depending on the gender of the word it modifies.

In what countries is 'nova' new? I'm genuinely interested.

I'm sorry to have wasted your time but, really, don't you think it's *funny* that you had some compelling need to inform someone what "el resto" means??
what the hell else would it mean..?

OK, but there always is the so appropriately named mensa society....

You do know what mensa means, don't you?

The Spanish word for subtle is sutil. Spanish and English seem to have a lot of words where a word in one language just looks like a misspelled word in the other.
