What is the Latin word for noun?
The word noun comes from the Latin word nōmen meaning name. In the Latin language, nouns are assigned one of three different grammatical genders: masculine, feminine, or neuter. Nouns also are assigned one of five different morphological groups called declensions.
What is Latin word order?
But, although Latin word order can be very flexible, typical Latin word order generally follows the pattern Subject- Object-Verb (SOV). English word order is Subject-Verb-Object (SVO).
How does Latin grammar work?
Latin is a heavily inflected language with largely free word order. Nouns are inflected for number and case; pronouns and adjectives (including participles) are inflected for number, case, and gender; and verbs are inflected for person, number, tense, aspect, voice, and mood.
