ave/avete

ave: 2nd person singular

avete: second person plural (i.e. for more than one person)

Ave! or avete! are imperatives of the verb avere, or havere, that has only the imperative forms: Salve! and salvete! mean exactly the same as ave!, avete!.

p.s.: it might be of some interest to tyou that ave/avete and salve/salvete and can be used at either meeting or parting: it is both hello! and goodbye!

nothing to do with vale/valete, a farewell wish which also means \"be strong or well\", or \" be worth\".
