this crap:

what's Latin for ''POS that doesn't belong on the ocean''?

"Pars excrementi, quae non oportet esse in mari."

Close!

"Mare."

Nope. The ablative for "sea" is "mari," not "mare."


You said, "in Mari," the "in" puts it in the accusative case, not
ablative. And "esse" should have been in the back.




I'm Horvath and I approve of this post.

"In" can go with either the ablative or the accusative, with a
difference in meaning, of course.

Esse could be at the end, though it need not be.
