Quite.
Here is an interesting question for Round Table readers. Take this sentence to your Latin teacher and ask him to translate it:
"Mater mea sus mala est."
He will probably make it, "My mother is a bad pig," or something equally nonsensical. But this is quite another story, "Hasten, mother, the pig is eating the apples!" Rather surprising, isn't it?
