The English meaning of the Latin exclamation 'Quam pulcher est' is How beautiful he is! In the word-by-word translation, the word 'quam' means 'how'. The adjective 'pulcher' means 'beautiful'. The verb 'est' means '[he/she/it] is'.
How beautiful the tunic is!
The girl that I love is beautiful.
Aliquis est quam does not represent a complete sentence, so it's hard to know exactly how to translate it. Quam can mean either "whom" or "than", and there's no way to tell which is intended without knowing the rest of the sentence (though "whom" is statistically more likely). For example:Aliquis est quam amo - There is someone whom I love.Aliquis est quam vita ipsa mihi carior - There is someone dearer to me than life itself.If quam is "whom", we know that the "someone" referred to is female (otherwise it would be quem).
Quam mirabile est!
The word 'quam' is used when comparing one thing with another. For example, the statement 'Maritus est veterior quam uxor eius' means 'The husband is older than his wife'. The word 'quam' also is used when asking how something is or must be done. For example, 'Quam altus est mons?' means 'How high is the mountain?'
Pulchra mens [est] pulcher animus. (The word for "is", est, is optional in such sentences in Latin.)
This is the day that the Lord made.
Amor fortis quam mors est.
The sentence 'Anima magis est ubi amat quam ubi animat' means The soul is greater where it loves that where it gives life. In the word-by-word translation, the noun 'anima' means 'soul'. The adjective 'magis' means 'greater'. The verb 'est' means '[he/she/it] is'. The conjunction 'ubi' means 'where'. The verb 'amat' means '[he/she/it] loves'. The verb 'animat' means '[he/she/it] animates, gives life'. The construction 'quam ubi' is a bit awkward. A smoother flow is 'Anima magis est ubi amat quam qui animat', which means The soul is greater where it loves what animates [or gives life to] it.
'est' is a verb, in Latin and in French. It means 'he/she/it is'. So in Latin you can say 'coquus iratus est' as in 'the chef is angry', or 'puella pulcher est' as in 'the girl is pretty' or 'she is a pretty girl'. So in short, anywhere where you would usually say 'he/she/it is' in English, you can replace with the Latin word 'est'.
The English meaning of the Latin sentence 'Quam bellum est velle confiteri potius nescire' is the following: How beautiful it is to wish not to [have to] know how to acknowledge something [as] stronger. The word-by-word translation is as follows: 'quam' means 'how'; 'bellum' means 'beautiful'; 'est' means '[it] is'; 'velle' means 'to wish'; 'confiteri' means 'to acknowledge, admit or confess'; 'potius' means 'to be able to or capable of'; and 'nescire' means 'not to know, to be ignorant of'. The phrase expresses the wish to be so stronger that there's no such thing as someone or something higher or stronger.
