i would gladly appreciate the correct pronunciation of the latin phrase: divide et impera
i'm pretty sure that the correct translation from latin to english is divide and conquer, and the conformation of that would be appreciated as well. thanks

The actual translation is 'Divide and Rule'. both are singular imperatives.
Dee-wee-day ait aim-pear-ah

'Divide et impera' means 'divide and conquer' but also 'divide and rule'.
The correct pronounciation is: 'dee-vee-deh et eem-pear-rah'.
There is no letter 'W' in Latin and the closest pronounciation of this letter would be 'ua, ue, ui, uo' like in 'Status Quo' (Statoos Kwoh.)

I think the answer above is correct with the exception of 'v' which is pronounced as 'w' in latin.
