- spudlyo 11mo agoCarthago delenda est! That's how us noob Latin language students learn the gerundive, with "delenda" being a verbal adjective, meaning "to be deleted (destroyed)". As a bonus it's also useful as a paradigm for remembering how the passive periphrastic conjugation works. It helps that it also implies violence and destruction, making it easier to remember.
