How do you pronounce the latin word mori?

Answer 1

Mori has several possible meanings, showing the error of taking any word in isolation. A translator can only be specific when seeing the word in context.

Mori [pronounced MOH-ree] can mean "black mulberry trees"

Mori [same pronunciation] can mean "the fruits of the black mulberry"

Mori [same pronunciation] can be the dative singular of mos, meaning "custom, usage, style, law, or manner", so possible translations could be "to or for the law", "to or for a custom", "to or for normal usage" and so on. Without the context, it is impossible to be precise.

In the phrase memento mori [literally "remember to die"] its function is the deponent infinitive of morior, to die. Here it is pronounced mo-ree and the meaning of the phrase is "remember you are mortal".
