Hi,

I was hoping someone could translate 'live' into Latin for me. As in, 'to live to for the moment'

Thank you in advance!

Good question.

I learned the so-called "ecclesiastical" pronunciation, that is to say, the
way Latin was pronounced in church. So I pronounce it VEE-veh-ray.
You roll the "r" and pronounce the "ay" sound about halfway between "ay"
and "eh".

The other way is the "classical" pronounciation, the way scholars believe
the Romans pronounced it. They pronounce it WEE-weh-ray.

"How happy is the blameless Vestals lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot;
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each prayer accepted, and each wish resigned."
