How does one say "hail"?

[KingHarvest]

1st century AD is more commonly accepted if memory serves.

[nicofr]

[ˈawe] (or, apparently, older [ˈhawe]?) in Classical Latin and in our imagination, [ˈaβe] in real Latin as early as the 1st century BC or 1st century AD, I don't remember.

thank you but in fact I don't know how I'm supposed to pronounce the 'w' you put in you notation. Could you give me an example word in english with that sound?

Wary, weak, with, awaken

It's just a regular /w/ sound, like in your example "a-ou-é".

So.
You can answer in a thousand ways.
FOr example you can say:
Uiuat Caesar!
Te saluto Caesar.
Seruus tuus sum, Caesar!

Morituri te salutant
Moriturus is the future perfect of Morior (morior, mortus sum, mori).

If you were Plinius, you should have written:
Caesari S. (caesari salutem dico) (as in Epistulae).

Also Longa uitam Caesar habeat!

[KingHarvest]

It's morituri te salutamus, and it's longam vitam Caesar habeat.

Moriturus is the future participle of morior, not the future perfect (though it does form half of the periphrastic expression of the future perfect for deponent verbs, in this case it is clearly functioning as a complementary participle).

ave, ave is definately hail. like ave maria, hail mary

[lama su]

It's morituri te salutamus

no, it's not.

the (only) right phrase is "have imperator, morituri te salutant" like it's attested by Svetonius, De vita Caesarum, Claudius 21.6 ( http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/L/R ... html#ref29 )

"morituri te salutamus" is not attested in the classical texts

My bad.
