==Grammar==
The grammar of Eurolatinus comes directly from the grammar of Classical Latin, but has undergone several changes and simplifications.
===Articles===
Classical Latin hadn't articles at all: neither definite nor indefinite article existed, Latin simply omitted them. To make Eurolatin nearer to modern languages, Llyn has created the definite article. It descends from the demonstrative ''ille, a, um'', "that".
As Eurolatinus has a declension of 4 cases, the article is flected:
{| {{Table/bluetable}} style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle"
! rowspan="1" colspan="7"|'''Definite article'''
|-
! rowspan="2" colspan="1"|'''Case'''
! rowspan="1" colspan="3"|'''Singular'''
