I always understood that TECHNICALLY alumni = alum-nee, alumnae = alum-nye, but I admit I had two years of Latin I was terrible at (technically three years, but the first year was a high school Latin 1 class I took for fun and barely counts).
As to veni vidi vici, I learned that in Italian it's veen-ee, vee-dee, vee-chee but in Latin it's wee-ne, wee-dee wee-kee.
