Subject: latin

Question
hello Maria,
was rather curious as to what the latin translation for 'love life' is, meaning as a command to love life.
thank you.

Answer
Hello,

“the Latin translation of “Love life” in the sense you say is “Vitam ama”.

Best regards,
Maria
____________________________________
Note that:

-Love = AMA ( 2nd.person singular,imperative of AMO, I love)

-Life = VITAM ( accusative of VITA, 1st.declension).

As you can see, Latin word order can be different from English.
