"How many young men are in New York?"

Translation: Quot iuvenes Novi Eboraci sunt?

[ChristerBe2]

Why is "in Novi Eboraci" wrong here?

[DerAndereLerner]

Novi Eboraci is already the locative itself... You don't need to add 'in'...

[Mayuri-S]

How did you know that? You must be wikipedia!

[Mayuri-S]

Latin is just confusing , right?

[cervido]

With macrons (cf. Wiktionary):

Quot iuvenēs Novī Eborācī sunt?

[toecheese1234]

I love this app

[saarahkhan2]

How come we dont have to add "in" before Novi Eboraci?

[CemeteryGraveMan]

It's the locative case, used with cities, like Romae, Bostoniae, Californiae. If Novi Eboraci was a country it'd have been "in Novi Eboraci" ("in" + dative).

(correct me if I'm wrong.)

Answer :
Quot iuvenēs Novī Eborācī sunt?

[Yiannis49]

Why is 'Quot iuvenes sunt in Novo Eboraco?' wrong? Do you always use the locative for place names and never the preposition 'in'?

[Caroline-G.]

Is it possible that "Novi" and "novice" come from the same origin?

[Yiannis49]

Yes, correct. ‘Novice’ is a derivation of ‘novus’!

[CemeteryGraveMan]

Just a quick thought, if I wanted to say "How many young men LIVE in New York", I'd have used habitant? Not habitat like one of the wrong options put it.
