"The kitchen smells of cheese."

Translation: Culina caseum olet.

[ArielMedin948128]

Is this an example of an internal accusative? The accusative [caseum] is used rather than [casei] genitive.

It is! Or cognate accusative: http://dcc.dickinson.edu/grammar/latin/cognate-accusative?fbclid=IwAR2pY5JCtWn6xQ1t4Jt1hbwCBrilrniT6lZ7d_L5dIduo4S1ashyrcRptCY

I realize that 'the kitchen smells the cheese' makes no sense, but would "Marcus caseum olet" mean Marcus smells OF cheese or Marcus smells the/a cheese, or both?

[kimodified]

or ... does olet mean smells OF only?

[Moopish]

To my knowledge oleo, olere (here olet) means to give off a smell, not to detect a smell. I think olfacio or odoror is more to detect smell.

[Nathalie975642]

My question as well.

Once you finished the course, the only thing to do is to review?

[radikian]

Absolutely not! Other sources can take you further! I like Hans Ørberg's Lingua Latina per se Illustrata series, and the Internet surely has many other options available!

If you replaced Culina with for example Miles how would you know what was cheesy?
