Latin people!

Is "sententiae" the correct nominative plural of "sententia"? I don't trust online resources for declensions. Please only answer if you actually know.

(No, it isn't for Harry Potter fic. Broken Latin would be perfectly appropriate for that.)

Yep - my dictionary says it's a garden variety first-declension noun.

Thank you. ♥

No problem - I know a lot of the web resources out there for Latin are pretty dodgy. For Latin emergencies (am I the only one who has Latin emergencies?) I've found that searching for a Latin word + "Wheelock's" in Google Books or Google Scholar will often pull up a preview of one of the Wheelock's Latin vocabulary pages with the dictionary entry form.

Lol.

Dude, it's totally sententices.

lern2latin, sententices is the vocative. The nominative is sententiorumisuumae. us.

I was more trying to avoid people in their first semester of Latin class answering because they really really want to be a cool person who knows the answer. I figured smart-aleck answers were a given either way. :)
