"You want to walk slowly."

Translation: Tu lente ambulare vis.

[Christine969755]

Why is ambulare lente wrong? I understood it would depend on emphasis

[JennyRusse1]

Don’t know that it’s wrong, but Wheelock says that adverbs in Latin are typically positioned before the word they qualify. So that would be - lente ambulare.

[VascoFlora]

So what about festina lente ?

[jaiirapetjan]

Did you also write the "vis?"

Thank you JennyRusse for your explanation.

I believe volo, vis, vult, etc must come right after the infinitive (-are, -ere,-ire words).
