The phrase is "Furnulum pani nolo".

It translates to, "I don't want a toaster".

Can anyone help me with the pronunciation?

Latin has such a long history that it has different ways of pronouncing it. The pronounciation taught at school is mostly not the one linguists consider to be the most accurate.
The classical latin (which means like the upper class in Caesars time probably spoke) pronounciation, as far as I know, would be like:

Foorrnooloom paani nolo

The r being rolled like in italian or russian and u pronounced like the double oo in "tool", the a pronounced like in "are" and the o pronounced like on "ordinary".

Then you would still have to find the right syllabes to emphasize. Im not to sure about that, but i think I'd would be like this:

foorrNOOloom PAAni NOlo

Basically pronouce it as it is spelled. Latin is super easy in that regard. Also, the 'r' might have a little roll to it.
