Hi,
A few weeks back someone translated :-
'What we do in life echoes in eternity'

The translation is:-
'Quod viventes facimus in aeternitate resonat'

Can somebody please tell me how you pronounce it ?

Many thanks!
smiley - cheers

quod veeVENtace FAKimus ['u' as in butcher] in eye-terniTAHte RESSonat

'r' is trilled like in Spanish.
For an authentic Roman (as opposed to medieval) sound, say 'weeWENtace'.
