New feature coming!

We have some big news: a fea­ture a lot of you have asked for. We have lis­tened and been work­ing on it for many months and now think it’s mature enough for par­tial release. What is it? Gram­mat­i­cal analy­sis of Latin words. So you can now tap a word in Leg­en­tibus and see what gram­mat­i­cal form it is.

Unlike most Latin learn­ing tools, we don’t show every form the word could in the­o­ry be. We show the one it actu­al­ly is in the sen­tence in front of you.

Here’s an exam­ple.

Liber omnibus placet

In many tools, tap­ping omnibus will show you: “dative or abla­tive plur­al.”

Leg­en­tibus will show you “dative plur­al,” because in that sen­tence it is dative and not abla­tive.

Let’s look at anoth­er exam­ple to see what tap­ping a verb might show:

Tum alcēs impe­tum in Cae­sarem fēcērunt

Tap­ping on impe­tum will show you: accusative, sin­gu­lar, m. noun. And tap­ping on fēcērunt will show you “3rd per­son pl., per­fect, active indica­tive.”

We check each text before releas­ing its analy­ses, so the fea­ture is com­ing to the cat­a­log in stages. We do our best to qual­i­ty-check dili­gent­ly, but we are human; things can of course slip by us. But we are con­fi­dent that this fea­ture will be use­ful to those with an inter­est in the wel­com­ing world of Latin gram­mar. 🙂

When will this fea­ture be avail­able? We are releas­ing this fea­ture grad­u­al­ly as we go through the books. The first batch of books get­ting this fea­ture will start pop­ping up lat­er today.

Many more fun things are com­ing! 😀
