but cannot find any source for distinguishing the verb type (II or III possibly) allowing me to pick the ending types it might accept for singular imperative form.
Normally I would just use the infinitive form and base my suffix on that, but have gotten myself completely lost without a reference available to distinguish between the type II or type III verb.
Any suggestions for such would be appreciated. Thank you.
Based on what I see, I am making a quick guess that the singular form would be satisface and the plural would be satisfacite. Not being expert by any form I can only make a rough guess on such, as neither my spell checker or Google translate seem to be able to deal with both forms.
Regardless, thanks for your quick supply of a resource that aided me.
I’m not familiar with the ‘type II/III’ categorisation.
What I can tell you is that the base of satisfacio/satisfacere is facere (feci-factum) with a short e, meaning ‘to make’. Singular imperitive would be (satis)face.
Oh good, I thought I was forgetting my Latin. I’m not familiar with type II/III either. Are you referring to second/third conjugation?
Ego non posset acquirere quisquam satisfactionem. – Miccus Iaggerus
Yeah, your word order is better, although both are probably acceptable. I’m not sure about whether invenire or acquirere is more appropriate with satisfactio. But I think we’re both wrong about the adjective. Satisfactio is feminine, so now I’m going with “Quaequam satisfactionem invenire non possum”.
There’s actually a discussion of this on yahoo answers, where they’re using nullam rather than quisquam, to mimic the ungrammatical English. Not sure I’d go that far. They provide two more possible choices for the infinitive, obtinere and nancisi. One person chose voluptatem rather than satisfactionem, but I don’t think that’s a good choice.
