Are you learning Latin or something?
I'll use an example sentence to explain the five terms:
"Andy, my father gave my brother's dog to the neighbors."
Andy = vocative
my father = nominative
my brother's = genitive
dog = accusative
to the neighbors = dative

Nominative:
Screwer's screwer screwed a screwer from screwerton. The screwer!
Genitive:
Screwer's screwer screwed a screwer from screwerton. The screwer!
Accusative:
Screwer's screwer screwed a screwer from screwerton. The screwer!
Dative:
Screwer's screwer screwed a screwer from screwerton. The screwer!
Vocative:
Screwer's screwer screwed a screwer from screwerton. The screwer!
In English {
subjective = nominative;
objective = dative = accusative;
possessive = genitive;
vocative.relevant = false;
}
{ I, who, Jane } ⊂ Subjective
{ me, whom, Jane } ⊂ Objective
{ my, mine, whose, Jane's } ⊂ Possessive

I'm not sure.
"Romani, contendite ad domum" or something like that maybe...

Heh, I know it, but seriously, I can't remember what the word "go" is in Latin. Maybe someone can help me get some peace of mind here.

No, it's "Romani" (plural of Romanus, not Romanius), and it "domum" (accusative, "ad" is left out). It's one of those expressions around domus, like "domo" (at home) instead of "in domo".

I can nearly remember "Romans they are go the house" in Latin, but not the corrected version!

just classical greek at the moment.
Though i may do latin one day, but i'd have no use for it because there aren't really any roman/latin authors who i really want to read.
