Latin only has six cases: nominative, vocative, accusative, genitive, dative and ablative.

And locative, though its use is quite restricted in so called "classical" latin.

On word order, your're quite right. Word order is very free as long as the words stay within the clause (part-sentence) it belongs in. But in some authors like Tacitus (who I had the mis?fortune of encountering this semester), word order is even more free, such that words are occasionally placed such that it appears outside of the clause it belongs in.

I personnally had greater difficulty understanding Virgil... Damned Georgics! but Cesar is the easiest.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
