- Because hamburger is a modern loanword, it can be treated as 'indeclinable', meaning the word remains exactly the same regardless of whether it is the subject or the object of a sentence.
- If you were to describe a hamburger using only classical vocabulary, you might call it 'panis cum carne', which literally means 'bread with meat'.
