I'd like to engrave these words on my personal stuff. I heard latin has genders for nouns. Can any linguist or polyglot please share with me what the difference is between these two words, "infinitio" and "infinitas" if there is any.

From what little I know of Spanish - Infinito is masculine - (mi amor para ti es infinito -my love for you is infinite - where amor is masculine) - whereas Infinitas is feminine -( la alma es infinitiva - the sould is infinite but in the feminine sense as alma is used in a feminine manner)

They are essentially the same thing - nouns, singular, nominative case, feminine gender for both. You can use either one. The adjective is also very similar.
infinitio -onis f. [infinity]
infinitas -atis f. [infinity, endlessness]
infinitus -a -um [infinite, unbounded, immense]; n. as subst., [infinite space]; of time, [endless, unceasing]; of number, [countless]; also [indefinite, general]. Adv. infinite, [infinitely, endlessly].

Exactly.latin as well as greek have gender for nouns.you say for example, "i am good, you are good,he is good". try : felix,felicis,felici,felicum, in latin and καλός(he), καλή(she), καλοί(they-male), καλές(they-female).two most ancient languages in the world. it's tough. latin is by far easier than the greek language ! good luck.
