Ac est una leana.

I know that is sooo wrong...does anyone here speak Latin? I need to know the word for "i" and how to conjugate "to be" in the present tense. [img]smile.gif[/img] Help! Please. [img]smile.gif[/img]

(what's "leana"?)
Well, one of the main differences in Latin: you do not NEED the word "I". You can just write "am" (sum, that'd be) and that's already "I am". You only use words like "I, you, he/she" etc. when you want to emphasize the pronoun. Well, in any case, in the nominative (I take it you want to use "I" as the subject of the sentence, right?), I means "ego".
The forms of esse (to be):
1st person sing.: sum
2nd person sing.: es
3rd person sing.: est
1st person plural: sumus
2nd person plural: estis
3rd person plural: sunt

Ich bin nicht gestorben. Ich weiss Latin night. Ich sagt, "Moo!" Yay... I used to take Latin at school, but that was several years ago, and our teacher didn't teach us well... [img]smile.gif[/img]

I think it's una...

Then again, I've never had any Latin classes.
French is as South as I go... and I'm not really good at that either ;)

Children, children. Lioness, it is Sum unam leonam. Object takes accusative case, sweetie. (Hugs for wanting to learn Latin) Want me to send you a copy of Latin Pro Populo? (Latin for People.)
