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'.

What dies is es un latin nean in English?

The phrase "dies is es" in Latin translates to "day is this" in English. However, it's likely a misinterpretation or a mix-up of Latin phrases. A more common phrase might be "dies est," which simply means "it is day." If you have a specific context or a more precise phrase in mind, please provide that for a more accurate translation.
