What are the tenses of Latin?
Latin has six basic tenses divided into two systems, which reflect how the verb forms are constructed.Taking the first-conjugation verb amo, amare, amavi, amatus ("love") as an example, the Present system tenses are built on the present stem, ama-. They are:the present tense: amat, "he loves; he is loving"the imperfect tense: amabat, "he was loving; he used to love"the future tenses: amabit, "he will love; he is going to love"The Perfect System tenses are built on the perfect stem, amav-. They are:the perfect tense: amavit, "he loved; he has loved"the pluperfect tense: amaverat, "he had loved"the future perfect tense: amaverit, "he will have loved"These are the tenses of the indicative mood. The subjunctive mood has only four: the present, imperfect, perfect and pluperfect. The imperative has two: present and future (though not all scholars agree that these are tenses).
How do you say Lets walk in Latin?
In latin there are several different ways to answer this question, as well as several different ways to say "walk" which is obviously a verb. There are six tenses for a verb, but I am only familiar with three. These are Present, Imperfect and Perfect tenses. You would also generally use the word "ambulat" as a beginner in latin to say this. This word, and all the other ways to pronounce "walk" in latin will be in first conjugation, and the connecting vowel will be "a" because of this. In present tense there are: Ambulo - I (am) walkng Ambulas - You (singular) are walking. Ambulat - He/she/it is walking Ambulamus - We are walking. Ambulatis - You (plural) are walking. Ambulant - They are walking (note that in present tense you could say, walks, are walking, is walking). Imperfect tense: Ambulabam - I was walking Ambulabas - you (singular) were walking. Ambulabat - He/she/it was walking. Ambulabamus - we were walking. Ambulabatis - you (plural) were walking. Ambulabant - They were walking. (note that another alternative ending could be, and rarely is, "used to") Perfect: Ambulavi - I walked. Ambulavisti - you (singular) walked. Ambulavit - he/she/it walked. Ambulavimus - we walked. Ambulavistis - you (plural) walked. Ambulaverunt - they walked. (note that an alternative way to say this tense is to have the word "have" before the verb). This is all I can tell you at the moment, however, note that when you pronounce and ending, use the alternative ending that makes more sense in english. An example of the common way to say "walk" as a beginner latin student, which I mentioned at the beginning of this answer is: Servus Ambulat. This translates to.... The slave is walking.

Latin word meaning hunger?
Yes. Comedere. It's the infinitive of the verb: to eat.Verbs in Latin conjugate in a variety of ways. There are four basic conjugations which are referred to as their four principle parts. Comedere is the 2nd principle part: the infinitive.Latin verbs also contain properties such as mood, voice, tense, participle.The word comedere is in the active voice, present tense, indicative mood. The basic active paradigm then is:Comedo I eatComedisyou eatComedithe/she/it eatsComedemus weeatComedetis you alleatComedent they eatSo if I write: comedo piscis. I am saying, "I eat fish." But if I want to say, "They ate fish," then I would have to write:Comedebant pisces. because I have changed the tense to imperfect (past) and thus the verb ending and noun case changes.
