In my textbook (which gives generally loose translations), the phrase "Est mihi istud auditu perquam iucundam." has been translated as "I'm delighted to hear that." Now, I understand where all those words come from, but I can't quite figure out why "iucundam" is in that case and gender (to me it seems to be a singular, feminine, accusative adjective?). Any ideas? I'd greatly appreciate any feedback!

Lingoleng answered this question on my language log:
"It's a mistake, should be iucundum, of course, istud mihi iucundum est, only this way it makes sense." 1 person has voted this message useful |
