Veni, Vedi, Vechi

It could be a pun (I've seen similar ones used in adverts on the Metro in Rome). Given this vechi is at best a misspelling of vecchi (old) - and TBH, that’s a pun that does not make a lot of sense. I would guess that vici was the correct word as has been suggested.

Only if you learned Church Latin.

I was told you pronounce c with a hard sound in latin - like cecinit (composed) would be pronounced kek-in-it.

But apparently priests used to pronounce Latin like Italian and in fairness, it sounds better that way.

Maybe we need a Latin forum!

Is that the actual spelling? Is it supposed to be "veni, vidi, vici" (Latin - I came, I saw, I conquered - a Julius Caesar quote I believe)? Or maybe it's a pun on it.

That's the right solution
"Veni, vidi, vici" is the correct phrase, and was said by Julio Ceasar in the Roman Senatus when I came back from a difficult war that was dominated by Roman Forces. The meaning is "I came, I saw, I won (or conquered, it's the same) and the pronunciation for you should be:
"Veanee, vee-dee, vee-chee"

or, more correctly as Latin had only strong C
"Veanee, vee-dee, vee-kee"

Sorry for my english

LOL I'm not so old :rolleyes:
I don't know why I used "I" instead of "he".. I'm getting crazy :eek: :cool:

The english "I" was "Ego" in latin (and also in ancient greek) but it wasn't used. In actual Italian "I" is "io" but it isn't used too much.
