Eyes of Fire

I am not positive as to how to conjugate this phrase, and help would be greatly appreciated.

Second... you conjugate verbs. The phrase "Eyes of Fire" doesn't contain a verb, so your request to conjugate this phrase doesn't make much sense.

e_brown is correct about "conjugation".
Setanta could never resist plaid jumpers and patent-leather shoes.

...and if you're looking for Latin:
Oculi ignis

@Foofie,

That's not conjugation. Conjugation would be

I eye
You eye
He/She/It eyes
We eye
They eye

@Setanta,

While I am being pedantic...

I think Setanta conjugated with a Catholic girl.

I think think the transitive form of the verb requires a plural object (although conjugating Catholic girls might be interesting).

Hang in there, Deigned. It's the silly season.

I'm pretty sure you wanted a Latin translation and I'm also sure that you meant
you could find the Latin words in a dictionary, but were unsure of their
declension.

Oculi -> Eyes -> Nominative plural of "oculus"
Ignis -> of Fire -> Genitive singular of "ignis"
