Question
How can "modern writing", or "new form of writing", can be translated to latin?
And how can you translate the word "pen" or utensil used to write?

Thanks

Camila

Answer
Hello,
Here are the translations you need:
“Modern writing”= SCRIPTURA HODIERNA
“New form of writing”= NOVUS SCRIBENDI MODUS
“pen” =CALAMUS or STILUS
Best,
Maria
___________________________________________________________
-Modern = HODIERNA(feminine, agreed with ‘scriptura'- Nominative case )
-writing= SCRIPTURA (nominative case)

-New = NOVUS (masculine agreed with ‘modus'-nominative)
-form = MODUS (nominative)
-of writing”= SCRIBENDI (genitive)

-pen = CALAMUS or STILUS (masculine-nominative)
