Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata, qui liber gratus est, nunc difficilis mihi est postea capitulum tricesimum. In futuro, tamen, hunc finiam. Ante aliquos dies, inveni alterum librum quem Carolus et Maria appellatur. Fabulae de puerum puellamque narrantur. Habet vocabula similis libro Wheelock's Latin. Repetitio verborum est grande auxilium mihi. Omnibus discipulis linguae latinae illud librum legere suadeo. Quid nunc legis?

How do you properly conjugate "Reddit" in Latin? First, you need to know if the proper noun, "Reddit", is male or female and base the conjugation of the verbs in the sentence on its gender , just as in Spanish or French. Reddito? As in "Carthago Delenda Est"? At first, it seemed easy to just use "Reddito", since Carthage was a city and Reddit is a community of sorts. The I realized that Reddit is no longer a community, but a hostage situation. What gender to use, then? Surely the ancient Near Eastern peoples had camps where they held captives or hostages during negotiations. Hostage trading was big business for them. My father in law is a retired Latin teacher, maybe he can help me parse this out.
