"Senem laetum visitamus."

Translation: We visit the happy old man.

[Sannit]

Shouldn't it be "We visit the happy old man," singular?

[Danielconcasco]

We already fixed it in the incubator, but the correct sentence hasn't flowed into the course yet. :/

No need to report it or comment. We know and we took care of it.

What’s the difference between fēlīx and laetus?

[Mujilen]

English isn't my native language so I'm not sure I can explain properly. It's something like the difference between "happy" and "cheerful". Felix corresponds to a deeper and quieter feeling (as in "I'm happy in life"), laetus is circumstantial (as in "I'm cheerful because the weather is fine and birds sing").

[Jon235428]

Would you say that felix is a quality of the person and laetus is a temporary condition?

[Mujilen]

I would rather say that felix corresponds to a more permanent condition. Since you study Spanish, it's something like the difference between ser and estar:

— felix sum: soy feliz,

— laetus sum: estoy feliz.

[PERCE_NEIGE]

As "laetus" can be "joyful" (and I think it's more "joyful" than "happy")

I wrote: We visit the joyful old man.

Is there a problem in English with this sentence?

[PERCE_NEIGE]

Is it like in English, and there's a preferred order, following some kind of logics, for the respective place of the adjective? Like "senem laetum" less or more usual than "laetum senem" for instance?

[Andrew771452]

I believe "senem" is also the accusative feminine singular - i.e. "we visit the happy old woman" should also be accepted, right? Should I report this as an error?
Many thanks for your help - loving this course!

[Mujilen]

You are right, senex can be feminine but in this case the adjective would be feminine as well: senem laetam.
