latin pronounce?

Question

how do you pronounce "Amor est vitae essentia"

Answer 1

You have gotten numerous different answers because there are several different ways that Latin is pronounced, depending on where you learned it. European and American pronunciations differ. In Classical Latin they are mostly on whether vowels/diphthongs are long or short, and if v is pronounced like w. Then there is Ecclesiastical Latin, which has some radical differences from standard Classical pronunciations. Note what people are telling you for the last word. Anything that has the T sounding like an S is Ecclesiastical.

I learned the American Classical method, and this is how I was taught to pronounce it:

Amor - UH-mor
est - rhymes with west
vitae - WEE-tie
essentia - es-SEN-tee-uh

Answer 2

Latin Est

Answer 3

Ah-mor est vit- i (like a long i) es sen sha

The ae at the end of a word, in Latin, always sound like a long i
