    Why does she say "soynt" instead of "sunt"? Is it a mispronunciation, or am I forgetting some rule of Latin?

      It's definitely /sʊnt/; this person's speech is a bit exaggerated and unclear.

        Not taking "youngsters" for iuvenes is needlessly specific.

        How would you translate Philadelphia (which is Greek) into Latin?

        It depends from what does that mean in Greek!

        "Brotherly love," derived from the Ancient Greek terms φίλος phílos (beloved, dear) and ἀδελφός adelphós (brother, brotherly).

        Amor fraternus (maybe also Amor fratris).

        It would be nice if the examples weren't such that we have to type them over half a minute. Not to mention Roman places would fit better than American ones.
