The gender of two words combined
Posted: Wed May 27, 2009 3:57 pm
On page 123 Section 277 we see a sentence (line 5):
Terra et mare sunt inimica.
Here "terra" is feminine, "mare" is neuter, and the adjective used to refer to these two nouns here is neuter and plural.
So does it mean "feminine"+"neuter"="neuter"?
What if it's "masculine"+"feminine"? and "masc"+"neuter"? Then in what gender should the adjective used to refer to them be?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
