Question
I was wondering if you would please translate "you are my heart and soul" & "you live, you learn" into Latin for me.

Thanks a million!

Answer
Hello,

First of all I have to point out that a literal translation of these phrases would sound strange in Latin which uses other words to say “you are my heart and soul” and “You live, you learn”.

So, here are the correct translations I can suggest:

- “Te ex animo diligo” ( You are my heart and soul")

-“ Dum vivis, discis” ( "You live, you learn” )

Best regards,
Maria
