"Suntne pueri in Italia?"

Translation: Are the boys in Italy?

[sigaloenta]

without further context, a more natural meaning for the Latin would be "Are there boys in Italy?"

[MagistraHenry]

That translation was accepted for me (1 day after you posted this).

[KatPavi]

It is accepted and grammatically is correct. Tho, there is no solution with added words.

[PERCE_NEIGE]

What do you mean "with added words"?

[Yevaka-18yo]

they are, appearing at later levels of this session

[Andres.Campe]

And how do you know if it's determined or undetermined? Is not the same "the boys" than (some/any) "boys there"... It is clear without a context, boys vs The boys... Is there no determinedundetermined difference in Latin so far? (I've just begun today)

[PERCE_NEIGE]

In Latin, it's the same. As there's no articles. The meaning is induced from the context.

If there's really really a need to have an article to express something that is determined, Latin will use demonstrative (grammatically demonstrative, but this a "this is determined" meaning).

[Wouter_vd_Hoff]

Does the -ne suffix indicate a yes- or no question? I (barely) haven't encountered this during my 4 years of studying Latin in school.

[davidvdb]

A question requiring a "yes" or a "no" is formed by adding -ne to the first word of the sentence. It can be omitted, however.

Boss ass reply, good sir. And with such haste, Shadowfax would be proud.

IS THE 'NE' SUFFIX A MASCULIN THING? IM HAVING TROUBLE WITH WHERE TO USE THE DIFFRENT SUFFIXES
