What is the correct order of the cases in Latin: Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative, Ablative, Vocative or Nominative, Vocative, Accusative, Genitive, Dative, Ablative? Unchallenged for millennia, the traditional order that the vast majority of students and teachers still use today has met a new rival in the 19th annd 20th centuries, promoted by some well-meaning scholars from Northern Europe. But is there New Order truly better? I examine this question in detail in this video. Feel free to share your opinion below!
