The statement is true. The Latin verb "laudare," which means "to praise," is a transitive verb. In grammar, a transitive verb is a verb that requires one or more objects. This means that the action of the verb is done to someone or something. In the case of "laudare," the action (praising) is done to an object – the person or thing that is being praised. For example, in the sentence "Poetam laudamus," which means "We praise the poet," "poetam" is the object receiving the action of the verb "laudamus" (we praise).
