"Salve!"

Translation: Hello!

[Leandro_lhi]

I'd appreciate a explanation of the difference between Salve and Salvete

[Danielconcasco]

Salve is for greeting a single person, and salvete is for a group.

[Quidam_Homo]

You say "salve" to one person, and "salvete" to more than one.

La pronuncia ha l'accento inglese e non mi pare corretto. Per pronunciare correttamente il latino ci vorrebbe uno speaker italiano. C'è qualcuno d'accordo con me?

[Danielconcasco]

No, non sono d'accordo. Questo è latino, non italiano.

This is the Classical pronunciation and both speakers used do a good job.

[PERCE_NEIGE]

Italian pronunciation is closer from ecclesiastical pronunciation, I think.

[Infuzibil]

You are right. Either an Italian or Romanian speaker would do a much better job. But...you don't look a gifted horse in the teeth.

[Danielconcasco]

One of the narrators is Italian.

[CatalinVilae]

Si cierto! I am Romanian and this American pronunciation makes me so angry! We need Italians or Romanians who know proper Latin. Ciao amico!

[SanderijnG]

Please note that Salve(te) can also be used to say "goodbye".

[PERCE_NEIGE]

Like in descend language: French. "Salut".

You meet someone: Salut les amis!

You leave someone: Allez, salut! Je m'en vais.

The usual meaning is "salut" to say "hello", I think it's the same in Latin.
Clearly an inherited "behaviour" of the word, from Latin to a descend language.

[wyqtor]

You can also use 'salve' in Italian.

[BrunoHammer]

and in Portuguese

[Semeltin]

[ˈsalweː]

[BrunoHammer]

Fun fact: In Brazil we say hello saying "Salve!" (as well, there are actually many forms to greet people)

[acastilloflores]

Dios te salve María.
