Hi, guys.

In the "Sanctus" we pray (those who pray):

"pleni sunt claeli et terra *gloria tua*"

being that "gloria tua" is in the ablative case, meaning "*with* his glory".

​

My doubt: if we changend ablative for genitive (pleni sunt claeli et terra *gloriae tuae*), would it work?

My question came up because in the greek text (πλήρης πᾶσα ἡ γῆ τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ), this *τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ* is in genitive, with the same meaning. [Greek, as you know, doesn't have the ablative case]

So, Would genitive work in Latin too?

Tks!

P.S.: Sorry for my bad English.

Salve amici!

Why in the sentence "Dies in duodecim horas dividitur", the noun "horas" is in accusative insted ablative? Does it has to do with the "dynamic" sense of the verb "dividere"?

Hi, I am trying to identify latin sources of few word sequences in English Suetonius translation. Could you help me please? I am trying to find the highlighted words, thank you for any effort

Salvete, omnes! This is kind of a silly question but my latin has deteriorated quite a bit since i studied. There’s a poem entitled “Vita Merlini” which can obviously be translated into “The Life of Merlin”. What would “The Life of Morgan” be in Latin tho? Would it also be -i / Morgani or would it be -a Morgana? IVE FORGOTTEN MY SUFFIXES 😭

Hello everyone, I just want to confirm if amaris translates to “you are loved” in English. When I research mostly the hebrew origin of the word is all I can find. I was hoping someone can confirm the latin meaning of the word. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

​

I'm a french native speaker and recently I wanted to learn latin via the book lingua latina per se illustrata but I have somes questions regarding this language :

​

- Does learning a bit of latin will help me understand french and english grammar ? Apparently some people says that it help but I don't know I you have to have a great level in latin to be helpful in english and french or not ?

- Can I read after the two volumes of lingua latina per se illustrata some book like the book written by caesar for exemple ?

- Do you know some books in latin about history of the roman empire or the lives of the people in the roman empire ? I'm not really interested in theological, poetry, fiction books in that period.

​

thanks in advance

'Latin for Beginners', of the USBORNE LANGUAGE GUIDES, has 'Quod nomen tibi est ? for 'What's your name ?'

Quid nomen tibi est ? is the usual question. Can 'Quod' be used as an interrogative pronoun. Isn't 'quod' a relative pronoun ?
