There are three basic ways of pronouncing Latin in the English-speaking world, and the pronunciation of sola fidewill vary depending on which one is chosen.

English-accented LatinThe pronunciation of Latin using English sound-values for the letters is now repudiated by most scholars, but it used to be common in English schools and survives to the present day in legal Latin, where one can still hear sine die ("without a [set] date") pronounced like the English words "sign-y die-y". In this system the 'i' in fide is pronounced with a long 'i' (as in "fie") and the 'e' as a short 'i' (British) or long 'e' (American). The result is "SO-la FIE-dy". Italian-accented LatinThis is the Ecclesiastical pronunciation, the system adopted by the Roman Catholic Church and by sacred and secular choruses throughout the English-speaking world. The letters have Italian sound values, so that, for example, "c" before a front vowel is pronounced like English "ch", as in "da Vinci". In this system sola fide is "SO-la FEE-deh", or /ˈsola ˈfidɛ/ in the more precise International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Latin-accented LatinIn recent years there has been a move towards what is known as the Restored Pronunciation, which is scholars' best attempt at reconstructing the language as Caesar and Cicero would have spoken it. This resembles Ecclesiastical Latin in many respects, but restores the original pronunciation of "V" as English "w" and "C" as "k" in all positions, and respects the original distinction between long and short vowels which Ecclesiastical Latin has effaced. This distinction is not only a matter of duration but also, in the front vowels, probably of quality as well, such that "I" is like English "i" in "pit" when short, but like English long "e" in "peat" when long; likewise, "E" is like English "e" in "pet" when short but somewhat like English long "a" in "pate" (but without a diphthong) when long. With this in mind, sola fide(which is sōlā fidē when marked for length) would be pronounced "SO-la FID-eh", or /ˈso:la: ˈfɪde:/ in IPA.

What is sola fide?

Sola fide is a Latin exclamation that when translated to English means "by faith alone". If your question is with relation to a religious (Christian) remark that was supposed to be made by somebody centuries back, then it's not that entirely accurate. The remark was made when this ex-Catholic seminarian stated that salvation is "sola fide", that was when he misquoted the Holy Scriptures. There wasn't any verse in the Holy Bible that states this rule clearly.It is clearly stated in the epistle or letter of St. James to the Christians that faith AND works is the way to salvation. For faith WITHOUT good works is dead.However, if your questions is just plainly "sola fide" that is to be used for another discussion, then my first sentence above will suffice.AnswerThe phrase 'sola fide' is simply Latin for 'by faith alone' and was used in connection with the reformation doctrines espoused by Martin Luther and others. It has reference to the clear Biblical teaching that salvation is by faith alone and not by works of the law.Both Luther himself and others since him have incorrectly understood the Epistle of James to somehow contradict this as it refers to the place works have as evidence of genuine salvation.The phrase was used in connection with others such as 'sola gratia' (by grace alone) and 'sola scriptura' (by scripture alone) to describe some of the central tenets of the reformation teachings as opposed to the Roman Catholic position. One of Luther's chief concerns was to 'protest' against the system of works which had arisen in his day and to point the way back to a simple, more Biblical position. The phrase 'sola fide' was thus primarily used by way of contrast with a position involving salvation by works.

It likely means you are a Protestant Christian. This can summarized by the "5 solas" (1) Sola Fide (Faith Alone) Only faith, not words or deeds is required for salvation (2) Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone) The Bible is Gods word and individuals can read it and understand it without the help of intermediaries. (3) Sola Christus (Jesus Alone) Jesus died for our sin and faith in him alone is required for salvation. (4) Sola Gratia (Grace Alone) Only through Gods grace can we be saved. (5) Sola Deo Gloria (Glory to God Alone) Only God is Worthy of glory and no man made institutions or people are worthy of glory.
