I need help with the following translation, a friend wants it to say to his girlfriend.

Your smile is as beautiful as the setting sun.

I am just starting to learn Latin so I am having trouble with it, this is what I have so far TVI SVBRISI EST DECORVS OCCASVS SOLIS. I would like it in classical Latin, as that is what I am learning, not modern Latin. Thanks.

Your smile is as beautiful as the setting sun.= "Risus tuus tam pulcher quam sol occidens est."


"sol occidens" is "the setting sun",

but

"solis occasus" is "the setting of the sun."

Take your pick.
