Here are some Latinized conversation candy hearts for you on Dies Amoris. I resurrected an old activity for my Latin class. The updated phrases posed a challenge for us ... "goalz"? Life goalz? Romantic goalz? Head scratcher! Let me know if you have other suggestions. AncientBluesky

Text on candy heart reads "be mine", with suggested translation into Latin as "esto meus/a"

Text on candy heart reads "goalz", with suggested translation into Latin as "finez"

Text on candy heart reads "bae", with suggested Latin translation of "deliciae"
