Question
Hello, it's Michael here.
I was wondering how to say the phrase:
'Life goes on'
Also, how do you pronounce it.
Thanks.

Answer
Hello Michael,

I suppose you are looking for a translation into Latin, not in ancient Greek.
So, “Life goes on” is in Latin as follows:

“Vita procedit”.

In fact VITA is “life” and PROCEDIT is “goes on”.
(See below for pronunciation).

Best,
Maria
