I need to get back on the wagon, I got really concentrated on both my grad school studies and my writing, and I lost my place. I still have Book 1, I need to finish it and move on to the other books. I could feel it working, even now I can sort of make out some passages of Latin as a result of what I learned from reading.

Yeah, i love it. I write sentences on the side as i read, it’s like fun grammar problem solving. It should be doable in other languages, but it’s not as fun to do with those as it is with latin, through this book.

Word order doesn't really matter in Latin or Greek, but the verb at the end is the more commonly used grammatical structure.

>> No.21412358

>>21411280
Most of the writing which exists in those languages is either boring mundanities, or religious texts which ought to have been destroyed long ago. Even so, the idea of the thousands of untranslated cuneiform tablets is stimulating.

Just neat sentence construction. If you want to be technical it doesn't matter as the words convey the meaning, not the order in the sentence.
