Questions and answers
Why do the verbs end in -o?
Latin dictionaries list a verb by its first person singular, so amo means I love and video means I see. The card gives the meaning of the infinitive, to love or to see.
What is a declension?
It is the pattern of endings a Latin noun takes. There are five: aqua and via are 1st declension, equus and verbum 2nd, rex and mater 3rd. Domus mixes two patterns.
Where do the meanings come from?
Each word was checked against its English Wiktionary entry on 24 September 2026. Meanings are cut to the first senses, so a word like lego (to gather, and also to read) can mean more than the card says.
