Is it ...

"Veni, vidi, vici ."

or

"Vidi, veni, vici." ???

Nope, pretty sure it's vici, and Google backs me up.

You can remember the order with words that have those roots... like I bet "convene" comes from the Latin words for come together. Vide gives us words like video. Not sure if vici leads to victory, but it works as a mneumonic. :)

I am sure of the order, I wasn't sure that 'vici' was right, but I never study latin (I speak spanish as a first language, and I speak italian since I was 4, and the words have the same roots in the three languages)

That's a good theory. Thanks for the info, btw.

What does mneumonic mean? I've never bothered to look it up.
