Latin: obire and morire (to die) What is the difference? I thought that morire meant "to die", but then I learned about obire with the same meaning. Is there a difference? Is one formal and the other informal?

Hosny was right on obire, but morior is deponent so the infinitive is mori (not morire)--it does mean to die.

obire means: 1. to visit, 2. to approach, to go to meet,3. to incur, to accept sth. mortem obire means: to die: also: supremum diem obire = to die
