How many Latin words are there?
Latin is a dead language. That's an advantage. In total, there are about 30,000 Latin words in classical writing, and I'll make a bet that we aren't finding a lot more where that came from.
What is the most famous Latin word?
Carpe diem.
Probably the most popular Latin phrase of modern times.
How to learn Latin vocabulary?
Start by writing a list of English to Latin vocabulary. Then read the list and repeat the words by hiding the translated English form. Recite aloud each ending (whether it has to do with a noun, pronoun or verb) and try to remember the word translation in your mother tongue.
How many words do you need to know in Latin to be fluent?
Knowing 4,000 to 10,000 words makes people advanced language users while knowing more than 10,000 words puts them at the fluent or native-speaker levels.
