Jargon

• Ending - the last few letters of a Latin word. The ending is the most important part of a Latin word! The ending of a word will help you to determine what that word is doing in a sentence.

• Case - endings for nouns (and adjectives and pronouns) are called cases
• Nominative case – the ending that tells you that the noun is the “doer” of the sentence. This case is used for subjects (and predicates).
• E.g. Metella, Caecilius, Mercātor
• Metella Grumiōnem laudat.
• Metella praises Grumio.
• Accusative case – the ending that tells you that the word is receiving the action of the verb. This case is used for direct objects (and objects of some prepositions).
• E.g. Metellam, Caecilium, Mercātorem
• Amicus Metellam salūtat
• The friend greets Metella.
