Please make lessons again! I just started learning latin two days ago, and I am progressing so much thanks to your videos! Latin really is a beautiful language.
Thank you very much for the videos! I've always been fascinated with the Latin language, and now thanks to your great teaching skills I can! Thanks a bunch 🙂
Takes me back to Grammar School in Chorlton, lovely to hear those lessons again, you do them well. Thanks also for your kind words to me all those years ago. Take care of yourself.
I'm learning Latin and Greek languages for my Ancient History and Classical Archaeology course and came across your videos, they are being very helpful and helping me understand better, do you have any book suggestions or websites I could use? (If you still see these comments) Or if you want you could make more videos 😋
I love your videos. I am learning so much just by watching / repeating. Thanks for making these. I was wondering, in regard to the vocabulary you give at the end of the videos, could I just focus on the infinitive form of the verb for memorization? So for instance, the infinitive: "cogitare" - rather than memorizing, "cogitavi", "cogitatum", etc. can I just disregard that and memorize the infinitive? Maybe this should be more clear to me, but it seems to be a brick wall for me. Also, I'd like to make flash cards of all your vocab but want to focus on the infinitive for brevity's sake.
hi, I just started to follow this channel and the guy didn't went that far with classes, so he did't explain perfect tense and past participle yet, but I studied latin previously (not that well). I get that learning how the verbs conjugate can be really handy to manage your translation faster and to spot irregular verbs. In the dictionary are also placed from 1st pers. ind. (so, cogito, not cogitare, is the one to look for). Still you can just read it on the dictionary once you know the stem, but it gets much slower and eventually you'll learn them out of repetition anyway. If you write calling cards you could maybe put infinitive on one side, meaning and conjugations on the back. At the moment I'm just conjugate verbs in a notebook and collecting them as the lessons comes. They're still all regular and in 1st, so I try to recall this stuff by repetition (is going to work like this pretty much for all the other regular verbs, so it's nice to know these rules) and maybe put some focus on calling cards for the irregular verbs and weird moods to come :)
A quick question - When you introduce a new verb, why do you always provide 4 forms of that verb? I recognize the first as the first person (neco, in this lesson, for example, and I'm sorry for missing the accents where they need to go), necare - the one I use as the infinitive of the verb, then there's the necavi and necatum. What is the significance of the last two? Thanks for providing this tool... I am helping teach my daughter latin. N
I found why there are 4 forms of every verbs in Latin Language. Check the link please. www.slu.edu/colleges/AS/languages/classical/latin/tchmat/grammar/vb/00800%20v-%20principal%20parts.pdf
hey nice video, but your explanation of the cases is rather scientific amd based on translation\prepositions. (your examples are beautifully made, though) accusative: shows direction/goal/distance of the action. where the verb goes to. pulso hominem = i hit a human. where does my fist go to? to the person. mater filiam laudat= the mother praises the daughter. where does the praise go to? to the daughter. pater in oppidum it. father goes to the city. reges duos annos rexerunt= the kings have reigned for two years. poeta reginam amat. at whom is the love directed? genetive: combines to words and describes one further. iulius pater marci est. julius is Marcus' father. julius and marcus are put into relation and julius is not just any father, he is marcs father. hostium timor. fear of the enemies (either they are afraid or we are afraid of them, depending on the context) fear is related to the enemies and describes the fear further. dative : describes advantage or disadvantage, what sth is for, and for whom sth is available. mors parentum mihi magno dolori est. the death of my parents caused me great pain. what was the death "good" for? it caused pain. for ehom was this a disadvantage? for me. mihi gladium est. I have a sword at my disposal. ablative: expresses time, place, means, origin/starting point, companionship. nocte animalia dormiunt. animals sleep at night in foro sum. i am at the market miles hostem gladio necat. the soldier kills an enemy with his sword Marcus ex sacculo suo nonnulos nummos sumit= marces takes some coins out of his wallet servus cum domino ambulat= the servant walks with his master.
"Ii via templo, pugnavi gallos irato". A sentence I just made up in Latin, is it gramatically correct? I thought this might test out the various skills of conjugation that you've been teaching us. And in response to that Gallic outrage, "Doceantur lectionem, Irrumabo eos" (sorry if this is supposed to be a family-friendly channel, I'm in a Catullus-like mood). Is this also correct? Would appreciate tips, these sentences have a lot of 'moving parts' and so they're quite helpful as test cases.
Let's share our results in the comment section and help each other till the next video! :) That's how I'd translate the given sentences: Puella agricolam vitat = the girl avoids the farmer vestam laudabo = I will praise the....vest ( I forgot what vest means, haha) Poetae insulam amant = the poets love the island. Rosas puellae dabam = I gave the roses to the girls Mensas reginarum ornatis = You (all) are building the queens' tables...?
Oh, oops. Vesta was the God mentioned in the video! Sorry about that, haha. And sorry if there are any gramma mistakes. I'm trying to learn Latin through the English language :)
I think I’m starting to get it. From my understanding, it’s not about what you’re saying, it’s how you’re saying it. The ending of the word is where you define what that person is saying. I hope that helps somewhat!

Do you have to learn separate endings for all 5 declensions?

genetive: combines to words and describes one further. iulius pater marci est. julius is Marcus' father. julius and marcus are put into relation and julius is not just any father, he is marcs father. hostium timor. fear of the enemies (either they are afraid or we are afraid of them, depending on the context) fear is related to the enemies and describes the fear further.
dative : describes advantage or disadvantage, what sth is for, and for whom sth is available. mors parentum mihi magno dolori est. the death of my parents caused me great pain. what was the death "good" for? it caused pain. for ehom was this a disadvantage? for me. mihi gladium est. I have a sword at my disposal.
ablative: expresses time, place, means, origin/starting point, companionship.
nocte animalia dormiunt. animals sleep at night
in foro sum. i am at the market
miles hostem gladio necat. the soldier kills an enemy with his sword
Marcus ex sacculo suo nonnulos nummos sumit= marces takes some coins out of his wallet
servus cum domino ambulat= the servant walks with his master.
i need more i am failing my latin class.

like it so much
Gratias Tibi
Can you send me your videos from the first one? I'm not technically inclined. It would be much appreciated.
Let's share our results in the comment section and help each other till the next video! :)
That's how I'd translate the given sentences:
Puella agricolam vitat = the girl avoids the farmer
vestam laudabo = I will praise the....vest ( I forgot what vest means, haha)
Poetae insulam amant = the poets love the island.
Rosas puellae dabam = I gave the roses to the girls
Mensas reginarum ornatis = You (all) are building the queens' tables...?
Oh, oops. Vesta was the God mentioned in the video! Sorry about that, haha. And sorry if there are any gramma mistakes. I'm trying to learn Latin through the English language :)

I am confused on how to determine a declension.
I think I’m starting to get it. From my understanding, it’s not about what you’re saying, it’s how you’re saying it. The ending of the word is where you define what that person is saying. I hope that helps somewhat!
