where I can find the translation of the dative, genitive, vocative of epistle. Thank you.
Epistula: Noun: epistula | gen | s | lang la epistula | dat | s | lang la epistula | nom | p | lang la epistula | voc | p | lang lang la epistula genitive lang la epistula vocative lang la epistula dative

* The dative of 'epistula' is: epistulae (singular) and epistulis (plural).
* The genitive is: epistulae (singular) and epistalarum (plural).
* The vocative is: epistal (singular) and epistulae (plural, both same as nominative).
The dative means the letters are the indirect objective of the sense; this can be explained by a better example: "Mark gave Jamie the book" (Mark is nominative, Jamie is dative, and the book is accusative).
The genitive means 'of the letter(s)'. The vocative would mean 'oh (you) letter(s)!', if that makes any sense, e.g. "Oh cruel letter! Why do you bring me bad news?".
