> So one agenda for the next meeting is:
agendum: singular of agenda
Latin neuter nouns end in -um, the plurals in -a. Thus:
stadium, stadia
medium, media
forum, fora
Latin feminine nouns end in -a, the plurals in -ae. Thus:
formula, formulae
Roman female names: Claudia, Julia
Latin masculine nouns end in -us, the plurals in -um. Thus
All male Roman names you can think of: Claudius, Julius, Brutus
The accusative form os a Latin male noun takes -e, thus:
"Et tu, Brute", not "Et tu, Brutus".
And now back to the Smoking Debate, in english ...
