I keep getting answers from people I could have gotten myself. I don't need YOU to use the online translators I can do that myself. I want someone who KNOWS latin to tell me what it means!
AESTUO
DOES it mean " I BURN "
HOW do you pronounce it?
And if it doesn't mean I BURN connotatively with passion or desire, what does?
Any other beautiful sounding semi romantic/romantic phrases in latin that you know of? (With pronunciations,please?)
Thank you SOOO much! I really appreciate it. I'm trying to get a definite answer from someone who knows for certain before I get it put on my body!

You shouldn't be worthy with any answer since you're keeping your questions and answers PRIVATE. What the hell does it mean ?? As far as I know Y/A has been conceived to share info and knowledges and this should be freely exchanged among ALL the users. I know you're not alone keeping yr stuffs PRIVATE but this is the first time I answer a question to somebody keeping all CONFIDENTIAL and then I would like to know yr reason for this. Also I don't understand why Y/A staff has introduced this possibility that I feel goes against the spirit of this community. I would be curious to know this too.
Back to yr question and ref. to the answer given by Santiago I would correct it as AESTUO is not the infinitive form of the verb but the present indicative, 1st person singular (I burn). The infinitive of this verb is instead AESTUARE.
Pronounciation of AESTUO is EHS-TOO-OH, put the stress on the E ( even if nobody knows for sure how ancient Romans would have pronounced it being the Classic Latin's pronounciation not certain as all what we know about it are just Latinists' suggestions).
My dictionary has the following meaning for AESTUO from the verb AESTUARE = To burn, be agitated / hot ; to boil;to seethe; to foam (with rage).
It fits enough what you mean even if I would prefer other verbs widely more used in Latin like ARDEO or FERVEO. pronounce as AHR DEH OH and FEHR VEH OH stressed respectively on the first A and the first E.
ARDEO comes from ARDERE that means to burn ; be on fire; blaze; flash; glow, sparkle; rage; be in a turmoil / love.
FERVEO comes from FERVERE that means to burn : be (very) hot; boil; seethe/surge; swarm; be turbulent ; froth;
Should you leave free access to yr question/answers I'll provide you with more Latin phrases sounding romantic.
I know that's a blackmail but email me if you like to explain me.
