Mah-tree-MOH- nee-ah DEH-behnt ES-say LEE-beh-rah is the pronunciation in both classical and liturgical Latin. The sentence means 'Marriages ought to be free'. In the word by word translation, the noun 'matrimonia' means 'marriages'. The verb 'debent' is the third person plural form of the present indicative tense. It means '[they] ought'. The verb 'esse' is an infinitive that means 'to be'. The adjective 'libera' is a neuter gender adjective that's in the nominative plural. It means 'free'.
