What Is The Factor, Which Makes Latin A More Flexible Language Than English?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The prime factor, which increases the degree of flexibility for Latin in comparison to English, specifically in the terms of word order is the ability of Latin to compensate the encoding of the position in phrases and sentences with the aegis of case endings, which take place at the ends of nouns as well as adjectives along with verbs.  In the case of English, the cognizance is always there about the nature of the subject being the set of word or words, which actually occurs first in a declarative sentence.  

    In addition to that, it also establishes that the object is actually the set of words, which occur at the end of the sentence.  Moreover it also edifies as to what exactly is the verb, which becomes the source of separation between two particular sentence subjects.  Overall Latin is not concerned with cases like that and has a much simpler mechanism than English.
