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.
