    the only problem is that cacare is a verb, and in your context it is a noun

    Yeah, you'd have to use stercorum if you wanted to be accurate. Not that anyone is going to notice either way you do it :) -- people usually believe what you tell 'em if they have no idea ;)

    Lovely use of the partitive genitive :thumb: Looks good to me.

    Wondering about the original sentence too though...what meaning of show are you wanting? It could influence which verb works best, there may be a better alternative to monstro.

    genitive? :eyebrow:
    mihi, if thats what u mean , is dative
    monstri is imperative mood
    stercorum is accusitive.
    w/e

    Jesus, my Latin is so rusty after two years of neglect :waah: I was actually looking at stercorum, but of course it's accusative. Partitive genitive in that case would be "nullum stercoris" or something, wouldn't it...:sigh: Just ignore me, I'm a uni dropout ;)
