| Citazioni | Voice-distinctions apply to verbs, and have to do with the relationship between the subject and the verb, the verb and its object, or the verb and some other noun tied to it in an intimate way. Latin verbs have two voices, active (‘puer amat’ “the boy loves”) and passive (‘puer amātur’ “the boy is loved”). |
