StructorVerborum

Structor Verborum (anglice "Phrase Factory") situm intenditur licentem hospites facere locutiones Latinas lemmis inflexis accurate. Propter naturam linguae Latinae hospites modicum aliquid eius requiruntur intellegere aut discere posse saltem. Hoc nec opera dictionarii nec magister linguae Latinae quamquam res pro casu illa providerentur cum posset. / Structor Verborum ("Phrase Factory" in English) is intended to be a website that allows its visitors to compose Latin phrases with accurately inflected lemmas. Due to the nature of the Latin language, this requires visitors understand (or at least be able to learn) some modicum thereof. This is neither a dictionary service nor a facilitor of teaching the Latin language, although resources are be provided to help with that when possible.

Hic situs verba Latina tabulasque inflexionis praebet similiter dictionario praebenti vires contextuales. Hospes copiam lemmarum quaereret de scripto principali categoriave. Lemma quaesita tonsori ante seligendum praebebitur cum tabula inflexionis si patet atque tabula lemmam inflectet de colaminibus seligendis et hospes locutioni currenti addere optet. / This website presents Latin words and their inflection tables similiar to a dictionary that presents their contextual meanings. The visitor may search the store of lemmas according to their principal parts and/or by the sentence function they perform. After (s)he selects the desired lemma, it is presented in the browser, with its inflection table if available. The table further inflects the lemma according to a selection of filters, and the visitor may choose to add it to the running phrase.

Et Structor Verborum de numeris Romanis modos numerandi calculandique (qui dicuntur) praebet. Numerator simpliciter numeros Arabicos Romanis facit calculatorque operationes simplices mathematicas numeris Romanis agit. / Additionally Structor Verborum offers the so-called numerator and calculator functions concerning Roman numerals. The numerator simply turns Arabic numbers into Roman numerals, and the calculator performs simple mathematics operations on Roman numerals.

Crustula / Cookies

Situs crustula in tonsorem hospitis coquitur ni negaret aperte, casu crustulum coctum solum illud indicabit. Si hospes titulum crustulorum agnoscere nollet tum quoties resurget; hospes nec titulum crustulorum nec globulos ferentes ante negandum videbit donec crustulum exibit. Crustula hic intenduntur hospites licere singulas optare pro usu sibi nec pro indagendo venditioneque. Pro illa casu hospes singulas has optaret. / The website stores cookies in the visitor's browser, unless of course (s)he refuses them -- in which case the only stored cookie shall indicate that. If the visitor does not acknowledge the cookie policy, then it will reappear every time (s)he visits; after refusing, the visitor will see neither the cookie policy nor the buttons that facilitate their storage, until the cookie expires. Cookies are intended here to allow the visitor to tailor his/her website experience, not for the purpose of tracking or advertisements.

Grammatica Latina / Latin grammar

Conatus scribere Latinas Anglicaque definitiones explicationesque simplices verbis grammaticis multis usis situi huic sum. Haec articula pagina speciendo cum attentis scribentur ut hospites intellegere iuventur. Fidem dare illis Latinam discere utendo situs huius nequeo at aliquatenus adiuvare spero. / I have tried to write simplified definitions and explanations in both Latin and English for many of the grammar terms used on this website. These articles will be printed in the word summary page when they are relevant, in hopes to aid visitors' understanding. I cannot guarantee they will learn Latin by using this website, but hopefully it will be of some help.
