Latin has the four cases Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative and additionally the Vocative and the Ablative. I haven't seen any other languages with six cases. As you can imagine, it's quite tiring to learn Latin. :-\
Just for your information. There are languages with more cases for example the Czech language with 7, and the Finnsih language even uses 15 cases. I can't provide a case study for this languages, as i am German too, but Google brought up this links for those who are interested. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tschechische_Sprache http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_language http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnische_Sprache http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_language http://www.helsinki-info.de/sprache.htm Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
