How do i know when to use mei/meae and tui/tuae???? Or have i gotten this all wrong?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/WhyAreYouCrying

mei = my (masculine) meae = my (feminine) tui = your (masculine) tuae = your (feminine)

For example, I would say "filii mei" or "filii tui" but not "filii meae" because here we are talking about sons and not daughters.

I hope this helps you! :)

Why is studeNt better in this situation than its equivalent studet?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Moopish

Student and studet are not equivalent.

Student is the plural form of studet and must be used here as the subject is plural.
