In cellario etiam nuces et ficus servantur.

Because in takes the ablative when it means in in the sense of location: in the cellar / in the storeroom.

So:

• in cellario = in the storeroom
• if it meant motion into the storeroom, Latin would normally use the accusative: in cellarium

This is a very common Latin pattern:

• in + ablative = location
• in + accusative = motion toward/into

Etiam means also, too, or sometimes even, depending on context.

In this sentence, the most natural meaning is also:

• In cellario etiam nuces et ficus servantur.
• In the storeroom, nuts and figs are also kept.

It adds the idea that these are not the only things stored there.

Because servantur is the present passive form of servo, servare, which can mean keep, preserve, store, or save, depending on context.

Here the ending -ntur tells you it is:

• third person plural
• present tense
• passive voice

So servantur means:

• they are kept
• they are stored
• they are preserved

Since the subject is nuces et ficus, the full sense is nuts and figs are kept/stored.

Because the verb is passive.

In an active sentence, you would have something like:

• aliquis nuces et ficus servat
• someone keeps/stores nuts and figs

There, nuces et ficus would be the objects.

But in the passive, the things being acted on become the subject:

• nuces et ficus servantur
• nuts and figs are stored

That is why they are in the nominative, not the accusative.

This is a good question, because ficus can be confusing.

Here ficus is a noun whose plural can also appear as ficus when macrons are not written. In other words, the form may look the same in singular and plural in ordinary spelling.

You can tell it is plural here because:

• it is joined to nuces by et
• the verb is plural: servantur

So in this sentence, ficus means figs, not a fig.

Because Latin word order is much more flexible than English word order.

Latin often puts the verb near the end, especially in straightforward narrative or descriptive sentences. So:

• In cellario etiam nuces et ficus servantur

is a very normal Latin arrangement.

English depends heavily on word order to show grammatical roles, but Latin uses endings for that. So Latin can move words around more freely for style, emphasis, or rhythm.

Because Latin does not have definite or indefinite articles like English the, a, or an.

So nuces et ficus can mean, depending on context:

• nuts and figs
• the nuts and figs
• some nuts and figs

English has to choose an article, but Latin usually leaves that to context.

Nuces is the nominative plural here, and it comes from nux, nucis, meaning nut.

Because the sentence is passive, nuces is part of the subject:

• nuces et ficus servantur = nuts and figs are kept

If the sentence were active, you might instead see nuces as an accusative plural object, but here the passive verb shows it is functioning as the subject.

Cellarium means a storeroom, pantry, or cellar, especially a place where food or supplies are kept.

So in cellario gives the setting: this is the place where the nuts and figs are stored.

Depending on context, English could translate it in different ways:

• in the storeroom
• in the pantry
• in the cellar

All are reasonable, depending on the situation.

Yes. Latin adverbs like etiam are often somewhat flexible in position.

Here it appears after in cellario, but Latin could place it elsewhere to create slightly different emphasis. The exact nuance depends on what the speaker wants to stress.

In this sentence, etiam most naturally adds nuces et ficus to a list of other things already mentioned:

• In cellario etiam nuces et ficus servantur
• In the storeroom, nuts and figs are also kept

So the main idea is that nuts and figs are also among the stored items.
