490 Only three? and no conjugations? Okay that made me really irrationally happy. I'm going to take greek as soon as I get done with high school.

@RomanAria

Only bad thing is that you do not have the regularity of the conjugations (especially like the 1st, where literally all you need to do is remember that its a 1st and you can write out the Principal Parts without a problem. Edit: Also, there are six principal parts and three different voices (active, middle, and passive).

490 Right but my Latin teacher says that just about every noun is declined irregularly in Greek.

@RomanAria

Not EVERY noun is declined irregularly. Plus there are only 3 declensions (and no conjugations) in Greek.

491 When word order almost always (key word almost) does not give any no grammatical functions to the words in the sentence, you need some other system. If it makes you feel any better, there is no Ablative case in Greek...

491 (Silver Paladin ninja'd me there, so that's why I was low...I edited it prior to your post). Knowing Latin will make learning Greek way easier than not knowing a language like Latin. It uses the same types of endings for verbs, adjectives, and nouns (I mean, there are nominatives, datives, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person verbs, etc.). I should be reading Tibullus' Elegies right now.... Edit: Re: Double post. I was making an edit on my last post and when I pressed save, there were two posts. >.<

491 I know both Latin and Greek. ;)

490 I'm taking a Latin class which I'm actually about to go to.

@The Silver Paladin

I'm going to go teach Latin class in a few hours too! What a coincidence!

489 Out of curiosity, do any of you (Dedonus, Paladin, and Pie) speak Latin?

@RomanAria

I can read and pronounce Latin. There is really no practical reason to be able to speak Latin like a live language.
