"How many men are sleeping?"

Translation: Skorverdon valoti ēdrus?

[Noah688128]

Why ēdrus and not ēdrusi?

[Darellur]

The pronoun 'skorverdon' the subject of the sentence. It can be more literally translated as 'what number' since it comes from words 'skore' and 'verdon' and acts like a noun in a sentence. It is singular, so the verb is singular.

Thank you!

I don't understand why it's valoti and not vali?

[Seojin_Kim]

I think the literal translation is like "what number / of the men / is sleeping", thus the genetive.
