∙ 12y agoLatin is an inflective language, meaning that the ends of words change depending in how the word is being used grammatically; this applies to nouns, verbs, adjectives and other parts of speech.
insula (an island) is a feminine first declension noun; the -a ending indicates the nominative or ablative singular.
insulae can be the genitive singular or the nominative plural, so the meaning can be "of an island", or just "islands". Only the context will determine which is correct - so never take a Latin word out of its context.
