@lupyuen is Mandarin ambigous too? As far I know it is not a fusional/inflected language.
Most of the expressiveness of latin come from being highly inflective. For example "agenda" liteally means "things that must be done", nominative plural of passive gerundive of verb "agere", i.e. "to do"

Yet another proof that English is an intrinsically ambiguous language: "Most also have a history of physically abusing women" … here "woman" is nominative or accusative? Note that "most" can refer either to cases or abusers. Growing old I find myself longing for the exactness of #latin which I despised when I was attending high schools
