Talk:vapulo

Since it has already a passive meaning in the active voice, I'm not sure this verb has really passive forms. --Fsojic (talk) 08:12, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

The Latin passive can be used impersonally, can't it? I think at least the third-person singular passive forms could be used, e.g. vapulatur could mean "one is flogged/people are flogged/there's some being flogged going around", etc. —Angr 14:32, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Yes indeed (cf. venitur, etc.). --Fsojic (talk) 16:51, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Actually the conjugation table for venio isn't correct either. --Fsojic (talk) 17:02, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

It probably helps to think of this verb as meaning "to endure a flogging". As an intransitive, it still can't have passive forms other than the impersonals I mentioned above, but thinking of it that way makes it a little less weird than saying it's an active verb meaning "to be flogged". —Angr 17:41, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

I tried to correct it, but there are still third person plural passive, where there should only be singular (as in eo). --Fsojic (talk) 20:59, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
