#latin help

[liminalopossum]

Latin-fluant people out there, I need some help. It has come to my attention that the opposite of Momento Mori isn't "Momento Vivi" like I had assumed, but "Momento Vivere".

My question is what does Momento Vivi, mean then? I know it is *a* congregation of "to live", but I don't know the language well enough to parse out the conjugation charts I found. So, if anyone has like a breakdown/description of what "Momento Vivi" is translated as, let me know. I'm dying to know.

quick Q for my fellow Latinists out there:

what is the grammatical function of "sive/seu quod"?? I have been searching in grammars and dictionaries (OLD and L&S) and online in vain for like 45 min and I need help :(

For context:

Nox ubi transierit, caelumque rubescere primo      coeperit, et tactae rore querentur aves, semustamque facem vigilata nocte viator      ponet, et ad solitum rusticus ibit opus, Pliades incipient umeros relevare paternos,      quae septem dici, sex tamen esse solent:               170 seu quod in amplexum sex hinc venere deorum      (nam Steropen Marti concubuisse ferunt, Neptuno Alcyonen et te, formosa Celaeno,      Maian et Electran Taygetenque Iovi), septima mortali Merope tibi, Sisyphe, nupsit;               175      paenitet, et facti sola pudore latet: sive quod Electra Troiae spectare ruinas      non tulit, ante oculos opposuitque manum.

(Ovid, Fasti IV.167-178)

I cannot keep translating this phrase as 'If/whether because' (even though that might be the literal meaning) because this seems like it is an idiomatic phrase that I just never learned...

tumblr help: “quis scit ullos homines virtutis magnae” is virtutis magnae genitive of quality or is it dative of posession?

Urgh, does anyone speak Latin?? I’m planning on starting a really big writing project (for obey me), and I REALLY want to use a few Latin phrases for a better immersion effect. 

I've sort of begun, but I've been exclusively using google translate and such - if anyone knows the language, it would be a huge help!

Btw, just so you know what kind of help I'm looking for: its just simple words and (at the MAX) a few three-word phrases. I have a chart where on the left side I have the word/phrase I’m trying to translate in English and on the left is the corresponding meaning in Latin. I’m hoping that someone can either verify or correct the left half!

If you’re willing to help, please please PLEASE send me a message or leave a comment so I can reach out to you! Thank you to anyone who’s willing!

I can help with first year/high school chemistry, math up through algebra 1 or 2 (though I suck at geometry), and proof reading/English. I'm also good with lit analysis and can help with Latin grammar and vocab.

Thanks so much! You’re amazing!!
