Like this and I'll tell you what Latin or Greek grammatical construction you'd be.
Pleasing, rare and exotic, @shffnn - the supine of purpose. (Used only after a verb of motion.)
Nunc bibendum est, @Gaylussite - the gerundive of obligation. Boozy and, I think, the closest Latin can get to 'bender'.
Your bio says 'opinionated', @d_memoriae, so I shall opt for the accusative of exclamation. E.g. hammy Cicero asides - "o magnum et intolerandum dolorem", "O great and intolerable grief!"
Handsome and reliable, @joefromyork - a final clause with the relative pronoun. "Caesar milites lectos emisit qui..."
Young and fashionable, @dylanvg431 - a late Latin future participle indicating purpose.
A fan of the retweet, @KieranMekota, judging by your timeline - I shall say the indirect statement/reported speech.
Spreading the good word, @SmudgeThomas - the hortative subjunctive.
I bow to your almost certainly superior knowledge of the classical languages, @DocCrom. quin and the subjunctive after a negative verb of doubting, denying, hindering or preventing.
All The Greek Verbs, @J_Scott_95, owing to the front cover.
Your scientific knowhow terrifies me, @nmrqip - verbs of fearing.
A writer, @EliotWilson2 - doubtless in need of oratio obliqua (extended reported speech).
Such a wide array of interests and areas of expertise, @stickyphysics, necessitates something useful and frequently met - the indicative mood.
Prone to waspish humour, @WandPhil - the derogatory pronoun (iste).
Wise sayings on your timeline, @Mr_John_Oxley. The ablative supine will allow for such pearls of wisdom as "facile dictu, difficile factu" (easy to say, difficult to do).
High camp, @tommcarthur777 - consecutive clause. ("He was *SO* totally x... that y...")
Lively and beguiling, @bhavpopat - gerundive attraction.
Controversial, @OscarCullinan! The vocative singular of nouns in '-ius'. (Even the Romans didn't quite know what it was :P )
Pleasant and wholesome, @EwellGregoor. The perfect tense.
High status and powerful, @EmathsUK. Prohibitions/negative commands.
Dreamy, @ArthurLWood. The optative mood - for wishes or desires.
Proactive and imparting good sense, @nat_eck. The prolative infinitive.
I applaud your enthusiasm for all things linguistic and furthering your studies, @LinguistJosh. Future participle.
Fancied the pants off you at uni, @jackolivergb - still very charming. The perfect subjunctive.
Pithy and up-and-coming, @nathanielrwi. The historic infinitive.
A lively bon viveur, @TheLadOrlando. The present historic.
A learned enthusiast for the classics, @chloe_crg - a Greek accusative amid Latin prose.
Thoughtful on the education front, @CobblesAnn. The deliberative subjunctive.
A political commentator, @histevegray - the interrogative pronoun. "quis ipsos custodiet custodes?" (Who will guard the guards themselves?)
A (potentially) fiery Latino, @mexsteamy, from what I can make out via my dubious Spanish... The vocative case.
A recent (electronic) acquaintance of mine, @MiasmaSpasm63 - the indefinite pronoun.
Dishy and athletic, @PJ_Ains. A post-positive particle.
Impressively Renaissance man, @benjcartlidge. A contracted perfect infinitive (or, better yet, pluperfect active subjunctive).
Quality content, @Roshe298. The fourth declension.
A gentleman and scholar, @harrowclassics, with a charming dialect. The Attic second declension.
Your imperialism requires the giving of orders, @enigmatist - indirect command.
One of my favourites, @davidashleywall. The ethic dative.
The genitive of quality, @LukeBrandonUK, for quality content.
Invaluable, @emilyrdobson. The ablative of price.
With a liking for poetry, @FennaCapelle, I shall go for the Greek poetic genitive in -oio.
As a former lawyer, @Yyadiloh, the third declension (so that you can manage the rude limerick about "de minimis non curat lex").
Open conditionals for your open-mindedness, @JohnHundeslit.
With good looks second to none, @joeholmeswriter (it's actually a little depressing), the genitive of comparison.
With educational governance presumably comes assessment, @tomasth89. Ablative of the measure of distance.
Youthful and industrious, @jakea2305. The genitive sandwich.
You can follow @ClarkesLatin.
