Your bright


Maybe.

Vostro means "Your", however illumento doesn't seem to be a latin word.

It's been a while since I've studied any, but I'm guessing that's something close to "Welcome, what is your name?" (I could be, and probably am, way off here). :eek:

Pretty good, except my teacher translated salve as hello.

Some foreign languages can not be translated directly, so what you read in one dictionary might differ from what your teacher says, but only slightly. Needless to say, I was way off in my feeble attempt at translation. Here's what one online Latin dictionary has to say:
Results for query "salve":

# salveo : to be well, be in good health.
# salveo : to be well.

Caesar cum exercitu magno in Italiam contendebat.

Quidquid latine dictum sit, altium viditur.

Inter arma enim silent leges. <-- From DS9

Latin is a language, dead as dead can be.
Latin killed the Romans, and now it's killing me.

Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam.

Illiud Latine dici non potest.

Te audire no possum. Musa sapientum fixa est in aure.

Nihil est in vita priore ego imperator Romanus fui.
