Addressing magistrates, a Latin quick guide
Article under construction
So, citizen, you go to NR and think about making your triumphal request "Oh, Consul"... however, you are in a Roman group, of highly trained people. So, comes the doubt, after the salve, what do you use?
Well, you must use the Vocative case, on Latin, the case used to call people. Usually, the words we know are in the Nominative case.
Another case you must have always in mind is the genitive case, i.e., ´of something´. For example, the house of the consul is domus consulis. Domus is in the nominative, but consul is in the genitive.
Below you can find the magistratures in nominative and genitives. Most of the words for magitratures, however, have the same vocative and nominative as well.
The tables are organized as nominative, genitive. Since the offices are from the 4th declension, it will be easy to have them by memory soon after sometime in NR.
(SG) Consul, Consulis Consul, of the consul (PL) Consules, Consulum Consuls, of the consuls Vocative is the same as nominative
(SG) Censor, Censoris
(PL) Censores, Censorum
Vocative is the same as nominative
(SG) Praetor, Praetoris
(PL) Praetores, Paretorum
Vocative is the same as nominative
(SG) Quaestor, Quaestoris (PL) Quaestores, Quaestorum Vocative is the same as nominative
MAGISTRATES AND MAGISTRATURES
Other very frequent doubt is the difference on latin between the magistrate and magistrature. We know we have the consul, and the consul holds the consulship, the praetor the praetorship, the tribune the tribunate. But on latin, see bellow:
Consul, Consulate
Censor, Censura
Praetor, Praetura
Quaestor, Quaestura
Thanks to A. Tullia Scholastica for providing the insights of latin.
