"Ecce quam bonum" is Latin for "Behold, how good a thing is". It is the title to Psalm 132 in the Catholic Bible, Psalm 133 in Protestant Bibles and is the first three words thereof. The Psalm is about the happiness of brotherly love and concord and is attributed to David as its composer.
The entire Psalm runs thus:
1. Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity:
2. Like the precious ointment on the head, that ran down upon the beard, the beard of Aaron.
Which ran down to the skirt of his garment: 3. as the dew of hermon, which descendeth upon mount Sion. For there the Lord hath commanded blessing, and life for evermore.
(taken from the "Douay Rheims" Bible)
"Ecce quam bonum" is also the motto of The University of the South located in Sewanee, Tennessee.

Can you translate Aliquis Est Quam to English meaning?
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).
