Semi Random Latin Notes
Salve is singular, if one is addressing multiple persons, Salvete is correct. Likewise, the singular nominative of Sodales is Sodalis, not Sodale. So, "Salve Sodalis!" or "Salvete Sodales!" I corrected it on the first page. --JBforMarcus 05:36, 16 March 2006 (PST)
- Hmm, I thought singular was "sodalus"? --Eirlys 13:41, 16 March 2006 (PST)
Nope. "Sodalis, -is" making it a 3rd declension noun. I looked it up. Twice:-) --JBforMarcus 08:28, 17 March 2006 (PST)
- Can you give some contextual examples? Thanks. --Rencheple 11:37, 20 March 2006 (PST)

--Nominative case is for subjects, genitive is possessive, accussative is direct objects, dative is indirect objects, vocative is direct address and ablative is sometimes called adverbial. (All of the above more or less. So - concrete examples.
- Maga sodalem amat. (The/a) (female) magician likes/loves (the/a) comrade. - Sodalis in the accusative singular.
- Sodalis magam amat. The comrade loves the (female) magician. - Sodalis in the nomnitive singular. (Could be genitive but the sentence would make no sense.)
- Maga magam sodalis amat. The (f.) magician loves the (f.) magician of the comrade (or the comrade's magician). - Sodalis in the genitive singular.
- Maga summam sodali donat. The (f.) magician gives (a/the) summa to the comrade. - Sodalis in the singular dative.
- O sodalis, magam amo. O comrade, I love the (f.) magician. - Sodalis in the vocative.
- De sodale cogitamus. We are thinking about the comrade. - Sodalis in the ablative with the preposition "de".
