Oh, please, nothing to feel even the bittiest bit dumb about! I mean, compared to some of the Latin my students come up with... that was just beautiful.
I swear, they just throw random endings on the nouns. And the verbs. A sentence like
The farmers' daughters carry the water
will end up
filias agricolum portas aqua. [daughters--acc pl. f.] [farmer acc. sg. m][carry, 2nd. s = you carry] [water -- nom. sg.]

For real. It's awful. And frustrating...
