Latin charts

This repository contains a tiny Latin verb conjugator that generates yaml and pdf files containing respectively the conjugation of each verb and a graphical rendering.

Contains also a tool to generate a noun declination chart.

The design is strongly based on the charts by Ben Crowder, found here.

Verbs

To conjugate verbs, do as follows. The first step is to go to the verbs folder:

• cd latin/verbs

To conjugate, for example, amo, run:

• ./conjugate.sh amo

This command will generate the yaml file inside the folder verbs_yaml and the pdf file inside verbs_pdf. To view the resulting pdf file immediately after generation, add a pdf viewer as second parameter:

• ./conjugate.sh amo evince

To conjugate all the supported verbs, run:

• ./conjugate_all.sh

Nouns

To generate the nouns declination chart, go to the nouns folder:

• cd latin/nouns

Then run the command:

• ./runnouns.sh

Prerequisites

This project requires python and the package shoebot.

Supported verbs

Here is a list of the supported verbs until now. The list will probably grow in the near future.
