I'm trying to find out if the folowing words are Latin or not, and also what they mean: Gener Ando Vista Previa

Gener is a surname, but genera is the plural of the Latin genus; did you mean that perhaps?

Ando is a Japanese surname.

Vista is from Italian.

Previa (as in placenta previa) means coming before, and is from the Latin praevius, prae being pre and meaning before, while vius comes from via, the Latin word for way or road.

In Spanish, "generando vista previa" means generating previous view. Sounds like the computer might be speaking Spanish.

I agree with Connie. The gener and ando look like they belong together to form a present participle.

No, Ted, Previa comes from Toyota.

Vista is also from Toyota though it's outdated since 2003 (also I think from Middle Oldsmobile (Vista Cruiser til '77) and Old Pontiac (50's?))

I think the Dodge Colt had a van version called the Vista, too.

yup, it did.

Ah, yes. Old Pontiac. It's what put the Indo- in Indo-European.
