	Wow so easy. lol that's what four years of Latin will do to you. Anyway, I think this should be at most a two-minute quiz. I finished in 27 seconds.

	If you're gonna include locative, might as well go hog wild with instrumental, the other case that got eaten up by the ablative, too. 13 seconds :)

	Thanks for the comments folks. @Inyro: I'm gonna leave it at 3 for a little while longer. More comments and I may change it. @hausdog: While I wondered why in all my years of learning and teaching Latin I had never heard of the instrumental case, a little research has shown that it was identical to the ablative. The locative still has distinctions in form from the ablative, and is therefore treated as a separate case.

	Haha squiffy order! It's amazing the differences in teaching in other countries - in the UK it's usually nom, voc, acc, gen, dat, abl :)

	Yeah, I think that was the order in "Teach The Latin, I Pray You." That makes a lot of sense as well. I've often found that amusing as well.

Comment below threshold: show it

	@mybeaglebelle: Imperative is a mood, like the indicative and the subjunctive.

	Good thing we Classicists don't have to worry about the Inessive, Elative, Illative and Adessive cases- reading up on linguistics terrified me a little.

	Agreed. My mind stops working when I look at how some other languages are set up.

	Doesn't Finnish have something like 16 cases? As you say, though, we're quite fortunate in Latin... :)

	In my opinion there's too much time to solve the quiz, too. Maybe 120 seconds will be enough for the most people I think. I just needed about 30 seconds to type in the correct ENGLISH words... (English is just my second languange)

	i do german. i used to do latin. german has four cases (nom, acc,gen,dat). i never remember there being a locative!!!

	Hadn't heard of locative. Nice quiz :)

	@magister. I just read your conversations in the comments on the quiz about things not for children and on the quiz about the fortune telling. It's amazing how much different you sound on the comments of this quiz than in those. If you eever want, I wouldn't mind having a pointless conversation about nothing on one of my quizzes... ;)
