To express the word “but” in Latin, use the word “sed<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

Remember that Latin is a flexible language in which word order is flexible. Technically, you can place words anywhere because nouns have their proper declension and verbs have their proper conjugations. Therefore, it’s not the placement of the nouns or verbs that matter, but what category they fall in.<\/p>\n

3) Hab\u0113mus pec\u016bniam sed n\u014dn hab\u0113mus cibum<\/strong>. (pec\u016bnia<\/strong> = money. hab\u0113re<\/strong> = to have.)<\/p>\n

4) Et puer\u012b et puellae\u00a0amant pec\u016bniam sed saepe n\u014dn\u00a0habent pec\u016bniam<\/strong>. (puer<\/strong> = boy)<\/p>\n

5) F\u0113min\u0101s puell\u0101sque numquam lab\u014drant cum agricol\u012bs sed semper lab\u014drant cum po\u0113t\u012bs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
