Latin - Page 2

Latin's a dead language,
As dead as can be.
It killed off the Romans,
And now it's killed me!

Sorry I had to suffer Latin for 3 years at school.

Actually, esse used as a copulative verb (hey, keep your mind out of the gutter) doesn't take an accusative because it isn't really a direct object; instead, it takes a complement in the same case as its subject (same goes for Greek). "I am a/the lioness" would be "Sum leaena" or "Leaena sum" (a form of "unus" isn't necessary in Latin, unless you want to be emphatic: "I am ONE lioness").

[edit: I looked up "lioness" in the dictionary and it's either "lea" or "leaena". "Leaena" is taken from the Greek, while "lea" is from the Latin.]
