Latin grammar

Latin is a heavily inflected language with largely free word order. Nouns are inflected for number and case; pronouns and adjectives (including participles) are inflected for number, case, and gender; and verbs are inflected for person, number, tense, aspect, voice, and mood. The inflections are often changes in the ending of a word, but can be more complicated, especially with verbs. Thus verbs can take any of over 100 different endings to express different meanings, for example regō "I rule", regor "I am ruled", regere "to rule", regī "to be ruled". Most verbal forms consist of a single word, but some tenses are formed from part of the verb sum "I am" added to a participle; for example, ductus sum "I was led" or ductūrus est "he is going to lead". Nouns belong to one of three genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter). The gender of a noun is shown by the adjectives and pronouns that refer to it: e.g., hic vir "this man", haec mulier "this woman", hoc nōmen "this name". There are also two numbers: singular (mulier "woman") and plural (mulierēs "women"). As well as having gender and number, nouns, adjectives, and pronouns have different endings according to their function in the sentence, for example, rēx "the king" (subject), but rēgem "the king" (object). These different endings are called "cases". Most nouns have six cases: nominative (subject), accusative (object), genitive ("of"), dative ("to" or "for"), ablative ("with" or "in"), and vocative (used for addressing). Some nouns have a seventh case, the locative; this is mostly found with the names of towns and cities, e.g. Rōmae "in Rome". There is no definite or indefinite article in Latin, so that rēx can mean "king", "a king", or "the king" according to context. Latin word order tends to be subject–object–verb; however, other word orders are common. Different word orders are used to express different shades of emphasis. (See Latin word order.) An adjective can come either before or after a noun, e.g.

"Les Sureaux", une rencontre intergénérationnelle au coeur d'Arbaz (VS)

Hugo Bonvin

La vie pastorale a longtemps rythmé la vie des habitants des villages alpins valaisans, façonnant ainsi leur caractère bâti particulier et aménageant le paysage, de la plaine jusqu’aux plus hauts alpages. L’évolution au cours du siècle dernier qui a engendré la modernité provoque un rapide déclin de l’attractivité de l’agriculture. Les constructions agricoles perdent peu à peu leur utilité, se vident et donnent souvent un air fantomatique à l’atmosphère qui règne au cœur de ces villages. Pourtant, cet important patrimoine vernaculaire peut être revalorisé. Le projet concerne deux granges-écuries et une ancienne maison d’habitation qui accueillent désormais une nurserie, une crèche, une UAPE et des appartements protégés. En leur centre naît un espace commun multifonctionnel. L’intervention se résume aux deux murs courbes qui connectent les trois bâtiments autour d’un cœur unique, dans lequel se retrouvent les différents âges de la vie. Ces murs hiérarchisent les différents espaces aussi bien intérieurs qu’extérieurs, en soulignant l’existant et en promouvant la rencontre et le partage intergénérationnels. La densification des villages de montagne devient ici une opportunité de redonner vie aux anciennes constructions rurales. Tout en conservant leur identité et leur mémoire, l’intégration de programmes attractifs génère de nouveaux espaces communs conçus pour les besoins futurs.
