How do Latin Gerundives work without a object?
Q. Like if you say 'sibi laborandum est' without an object that he/she must do to? My latin teacher said that it isn't something we should think about or understand now until we learn Latin at A level or beyond. Why do Latin Gerundives without an object work? And is the gerundive always in the same form for it?

A. It seems to me that you mean the subject, not the object. Although the action of the gerundive is to be performed on the subject, it's a passive construction, so that the recipient of the action IS the subject. A famous Latin statement using this construction is "Carthago delenda est"--"Carthage must (is to be) destroyed," which Cato the Censor said at the end of every speech he made in the Senate until finally it penetrated or the Senate got tired of hearing him say it, and Rome destroyed Carthage. The dative word in such a construction is known as the "dative of agent" and refers to the person who must do the action. Such a sentence COULD be translated with the dative as the subject and the real subject as the object, which would… [cont.]

A. If it was all in caps, the Romans would understand. But, at least at my school, we are taught to write Latin with the letters U, W and J, which were not introduced until the middle ages, after the Romance and Germanic languages were developed. So, if a Roman from Caesar's time came to read our modern Latin, I think that he would be able to once you explained our new letters.

A. If you have no prior dance experience and you are not some sort of extremely gifted dance prodigy, it will take you about three years taking lessons three times a week AND practise for one hour a day. Don't take more than three lessons. Its better to practice more often than take more lessons. Usually, your studio will have floor time available for you to practice but often your local gym will have some hardwood floor that you can practice on. I prefer this because you get used to dancing in front of strangers. I'd also like to give a shameless plug for my blog called the "Ballroomblog" at Its a great resource for beginning dancers.

A. Sacrifice: Sacrificium is a translation, but that is directed to a sacrifice to the gods, a religious sacrifice. For a meaning like 'giving up something for someone else', use 'iactura'. Gate: Porta, typically the gate to a city or town Janua; entry to a private house Ostium; an entrance of any kind, most frequently to a house Fores; usually the gate to houses; strictly, a folding gate. 'Fores' is a plural word - the Romans looked at the two leaves of a folding gate as a pair of things. Liberty: Libertas

For individual words, a translation site may be satisfactory, but even then I'd recommend using an online Latin-English dictionary (if you don't have access to a real one, in hard copy). For a sentence or even a phrase, however, if you haven't studied Latin yourself, you should definitely post your passage on this site, where several good Latinists are likely to see it and respond.

A. Different regions had different reasons. This should help you out Latin American Independence (1807-1824), political and military movement that ended colonial rule by Spain and Portugal over Mexico, Central America, and South America and gave birth to the modern independent nations of Latin America. When the independence movement began at the beginning of the 19th century, Latin America contained two large and productive colonial empires, the Spanish and the Portuguese.
