Latin

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.)
