The shortest day is an English equivalent of 'brevissima dies'. In the word by word translation, the feminine superlative 'brevissima' means 'shortest'. The word 'dies' tends to be a masculine gender noun that means 'day'. But as in the example here, it becomes a feminine gender noun if it refers to a specific day that serves a specific purpose. The phrase is pronounced 'breh-VEES-see-mah dee-ACE'.*
*The sound 'ace' is similar to the English noun 'ace'.
