Hey cud u please helpme on this ?

Why Latin?

Cos I like it !

Re: Hey cud u please helpme on this ?
I used to think there was a kind of bird, once born, would keep flying until death.
Quondam credebam esse avis qui a nativitate usque ad mortem volabat.

The fact is that the bird hasn't gone anywhere. It was dead from the beginning.
De facto avis ubique non ivit. Ab initio mortuus erat.

Live my life and die happy
Vitam meam vivere et feliciter mori.

NOTE WELL!
I am not a professional Latin scholar, just some guy who does this for fun.

1) Solebam putare esse avis speciem, quae, si nata esset, usque ad mortem volaret.

2)Vive vita mea, morere feliciter.

1)Solebam = I used to
putare = to think
esse speciem = (A.C.I) There is a kind
avis = of bird
quae = which (bird) bird (avis is femininum in latin)
si = once,if
nata esset = born
usque ... volaret = would keep flying
ad mortem = until death

2) vive = imperative/command of "to live/vivere" = Live!
vita mea = my life, it can be translated according to the context. or "(oh) my life!" (vocative case) or "with/by my life"(ablative case)
morere = imperative/command of "to die/mori" = die!
feliciter = adverb, happy

George!
I don't want to criticize or make you angry. but if I could, I would change something in Your phrases:

credebam esse avis -> credebam esse avem (because I think You wanted to use acc. cum inf., so You have to put avis in acc., or say simply "fuit/erat avis"

qui -> quae (because there are three genders in latin, avis, as I said above, is femininum and relative pronoun has to be in the same gender and case as the noun, which is described by this pronoun)

volabat -> volaret (because volebat means "he/she/it flew",but we want to describe situation, which normally wouldn't be possible, because "It(bird) was dead from the beginning"- it would fly, if it was alive, but it isn't, so cannot fly. in latin for these situations is used coniunctive, Because of that I think "volaret" is more proper.

in the second phrase I don't know is going to be said

or Someone is saying to the Life (by using personification) "Oh my life, live!
(vocative)
or someone is saying to other person: "live with/by my life " in meaning "use my life and die happy" ( Ablative of Instrument)

anyway we can say for these both situations mea vita (in latin in this declination nominative an ablative are the same)

I also don't know what about the verbs: Are they infinitives: to live, to die (vivere, mori)
or are they in imperative (vive, morere)
