"Marcus speaks German in the nearest library."

Translation: Marcus in bibliotheca proxima Germanice loquitur.

[FaizalZahid]

Is "loquitur" an irregular verb?

[DerAndereLerner]

No but it's a deponent verb. :)

[tkdblake93]

"Marcus Germanice in bibliotheca proxima loquitur." was marked as incorrect. Word order isn't near as strict in Latin as it is in most modern Germanic and Romance languages.

[ThomasClarke9]

It was marked correct now.

[JonathanPo477257]

Marked as incorrect: "Germanice in bibliotheca proxima Marcus loquitur." Is that true?

[cmetzner]

how would one say the library is near my house? does "proxima" mean nearest and also near or nearby ?

[mosfet07]

I would say it's the preposition apud: "Bibliotheca apud casam meam est."

[LynnSerafi]

I am not positive in Latin, but in Italian prossimo/a (from proxima) means "next" or "the next". The word vicino/a in Italian means "nearby". For example, la prossima fermata means "the next stop" when you are on a train or bus, but la fermata dell'autobus è vicina means "the bus stop is near/nearby". So, based on this alone my GUESS would be it refers specifically to "the closest/nearest" library. However, I have already discovered many "false friends" between Latin and Italian, so I might be wrong in my assumption.
