As a single word, it does mean 'they are'. However, it is also used to form some verb tenses.
Auditi sunt = They have been heard. Here, it would translate to 'They have been'
Secuti sunt = They have followed. Here, it's 'They have."
No hard and fast answer - depends on the other words used with it. If there's nothing that looks like a verb nearby, it's probably 'they are'.

The Romans pronounced "pulcher" as "POOL-khehr". For the u, use the vowel in 'true', and for the e, make sure that it is pronounced as a separate vowel as in "set", and not slurred into the r. The 'ch' was pronounced essentially like an English 'k', with a puff of air (which the Latin c normally did not have, unlike English, but in this case it has, and that is why there is an h in the word). Also, the Romans trilled their r's. desire - probably best is 'cupido'. 'desideratio' is historically the origin of our word 'desire', but was very rare in Roman times. fate - fatum (with the implication of spoken fate) or sors jewel - lapis or gemma (the Romans pronounced all g's hard, as in get, and doubled double letters such as the double m) honor - honos or honor (pronounce the h) impulse - momentum, momen, pulsus love - amor (AH-mor, meaning sexual love) peace - pax pleasure - voluptas (woh-LOOP-tahs, the Romans pronounced v's as w's)

Latin being a "dead" (not spoken) language, there is a lot of controversy about the pronunciation. The pronunciation rules are based upon Italian although there is the so called "restituta" which favors some modifications of the a.m. pronunciation. As for

Dregs memory back over 50 years - isn't it part of the verb I am?
Sum, es, est. Sumus, estis, sunt.
I am, you are, he/she/it is.
We are, you (pl) are, they are.
Sunt - they are!
