Which one is the correct word
Amicus (servus, servum) laudat
The correct word in this sentence would be "servus."
In the given phrase "Amicus (servus, servum) laudat," the correct word to use depends on the grammatical context.
Here's how you can determine the correct word:
1. Identify the noun that the word needs to modify or agree with. In this case, it's "Amicus," which means "friend."
2. Consider whether "Amicus" is in the nominative case (subject of the sentence), accusative case (direct object), or vocative case (used for direct address like "O friend").
- If "Amicus" is the subject of the sentence, the correct form would be "servus." This would translate the phrase as "The friend praises the servant."
- If "Amicus" is the direct object, the correct form would be "servum." This would translate the phrase as "The friend praises the servant."
- If "Amicus" is used for direct address, it is not clear from the given phrase which form of "servus" is correct.
So, without further context, it is not possible to determine the correct form of "servus" in the given phrase.
