                If you're using the vocative case for a plural word like friends pluralized, would it be amici or amicis, or something different? Thanks!

    "In Latin, as in English, the <i>vocative</i> case, used in addressing a person, has the same form as the nominative, except that the vocative singular of -us nouns and adjectives of the second declension ends in -e (in -ius nouns, -ie becomes -î)." [from <u>Latin for Americans: First Book</u> (1968)]
The above is referring only to the singular forms of certain words. You are referring to the plural of <i>amicus</i>, right? The plurals are not affected by any exceptions; only some singular forms. Therefore, the vocative plural of <i>amicus</i> is <i>amicî</i>.

    (That should be a macron over the second "i" in <i>amici</i>.)
