This is how an Italian pronounces it today. This is not Latin pronunciation.

2 mistakes in 35 seconds lol. Julius Caesar was not Emperor and this is Church Latin, which he did not speak.

This video does not use the "correct" Classical Latin pronunciations of "veni, vidi, vici" at all; it's actually using the corrupted Ecclesiastical Latin pronunciations instead. The true "correct" Classical Latin pronunciations for "veni, vidi, vici" should be "wenny, weedee, weekee" (or weni, widi, wiki for those that use Ecclesiastical Latin phonetics).

[jojodude]

Veni=weni, vidi=weedee, vici=wiki

That's latin, latin's "v" was pronounced "w", and their "c" was pronounced "k"

[Puistokemisti]

Caesar wasn't an emperor. He was nominated as the "dictator for life" of the Roman republic. It was Octavius, later known as Augustus who became the first emperor of Rome

This is correct and beautiful ecclesiastical latin, but caesar did not speak ecclesiastical latin, he spoke classical latin (and probably greek). So you are wrong in saying "this is how caesar would have said it" In classical latin this phrase would have been pronounced as "Weni Widi Wiki".

[nataliejones]

The Classical Latin pronunciation would sound, using English pronunciation: "weni, widi, wiki". Warum bin ich hier? Ich spreche schon Latein und bin Österreichischer!

[zogzog]

Veni Vidi Velcro. I came I saw I stuck around.

Glad to see a lot of Romans correcting this.

Um, so, I took 3 years of Latin in high school, and unless my teacher did not in fact know how to speak Latin, that should be pronounced Winē Widē Wikē (like wiki). The V is pronounced like a W, and they didn't have soft C's in Latin. It is always pronounced hard like a K.

Why hasn’t the uploader corrected or deleted this video yet? It’s embarrassing. Read the comments every now and then, FFS

[eduardobelgrano]

The "C" in latin was pronounced "K" "and not "CH" as in the video

You’re saying this is how Caesar would have pronounced it, but yet you use ecclesiastical Latin pronunciation that comes from the church. Maybe you don’t realize that Caesar predates both Jesus and the Catholic church? Caesar would have actually said something more like “Weni, Widi, Wiki” because V’s in classical Latin would be pronounced more like w (you can see this in English since it uses the Latin alphabet and has borrowed a lot of vocab from Latin, modern English W is literally 2 latinic v’s put together). We also have attested Roman Authors such as Quintilian who wrote: “Nam K quidem in nullis verbis utendum Lito…cum sit C littera, quae ad omnes vocales vim suam preferat.” Now, most of the people here know jack-squat about Latin, so I’ll tell you what it means. Here, Quintilian is basically saying “So K, I think shouldn’t be used at all…the letter c keeps it’s strength before all the vowels.” What does that tell you? IT’S TELLING YOU THE LETTER C IS ALWAYS PRONOUNCED AS A HARD C IN FRONT OF VOWELS, MEANING IT SOUNDS LIKE K AND THAT THE LETTER K SHOULD BE COMPLETELY DROPPED BECAUSE IT’S REDUNDANT, YOU DUNCE.

[Dominss]

its wrong. its italianized pronunciation.

[rosswilliams]

Incorrect! Iulius Caesar would have said, Way-knee, We-dee, We-chee. "V" was pronounced as our "W", and "E" was pronounced as a long-A. 👍

[fungus]

YouTube will let you post anything as long as it's not a boob 😂

[odysseusofithaca]

Get outta here with that ecclesiastical pronunciation. Only classical pronunciation in this house

[andrew_thomas]

In Latin, V’s are pronounced as W’s and Vice verse so if you are confused that should help

[JasonHoningford]

Julius Caesar also spoke in Greek, which also has several dialects.

This is Ecclesiastical Latin, Caesar wouldn’t have spoken it. Also, he wasn’t an emperor lol
