Well, I woke up, came to the computer today, and saw that 3 spammoff threads were done. That is crazy and leads me to think that some people need to take time off computers. SO here, unlike the idiotic, (well) discussions that occured there, we shall discuss intelligent stuff.

Ah, so you've studied the 3rd decl. eh? In Italian: In pace i figli seppelliscono i padri, in guerra i padri seppelliscono i figli. In English: In peace time sons bury fathers, in war time fathers bury sons.
Yeah I'm having fun translating famous sentences in latin.
So far I've learned:
1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th verbs (present tense and past tense)
1st, 2nd, 3rd declension nouns
Nova,-us,-um adjectives and the ones that decline like omnis
Some basic adverbs and prepositions
I mostly know medieval latin since the lessons I read are from british national archives website, but if I understood well classical is mostly the same except prepositions are a lot less used and the -e ending is written -ae
