e ludo domum revertitur

Post by pmda »

In LLPSO XXI Orberg habet: Ecce puer qui e ludo domum revertitur.

Num 'Ecce puer qui a(b) ludo domum revertitur. dicere potest?

Trust Orberg: "è ludo" is fine, unless I'm mistaken, as is "à ludo".
Crede Orbergensi: bonum est "è ludo", nisi fallor, et "à ludo".

Don't you mean "nonné" and not "num". "Nonnè" expects a positive answer; "nùm" a negative.
Nonnè "nonné" non "nùm" dicere vis? Negativum responsum "nùm" exspectat; "nonnè" affirmativum.

Aliud corrigendum: "...dici potest"
I'm writing in Latin hoping for correction, and not because I'm confident in how I express myself. Latinè scribo ut ab omnibus corrigar, non quod confidenter me exprimam.
