I’m loving this refresher course. 45 years later, I can still hear the revision drum in my mind of ‘nominative, vocative, accusative, genitive, dative, ablative’….
Hi from Rome :) I studied Latin in school. Unfortunately I forgot everything. Now I am living in Germany and it's funny because German has 4 cases: nominativ, accusativ, genitiv, dativ. No ablativ. Many languages have cases. So Latin is in a way propedeutic to learn other languages because you become familiar with the concept of cases.

Thank you for reading! Happy learning.
Can a genitive noun in Latin become a different noun in English?
For example, caelum means sky while the genitive form caeli translates to air (of sky).
