thank you so much for posting!!!! i have my latin final this tuesday and i was absent for about a week so i didn't understand this stuff at all. i owe you my life!
1:00 Is it gramatically correct to replace the gerundive construction in this phrase with one oncluding the gerund? Like this: "Caesarem interficiendo Brutus et Cassius rem publicam restituerunt." Where interficiendo in this case is the gerund instead of the gerundive, and Caesar is put in the accusative case. Is this correct, or can the gerund only be used wtihout an object?
Benjamin, reading some of these comments (I know they are from a while back, but some of these ppl need a hobby other than critiquing other ppl's videos. On behalf of all Texans, I apologize for the jackass who claims to be an expert on pronouncing "gerund" and from Texas. I do have a question for you: when diagramming gerundives do you diagram the gerund as a verbal with the noun it is modifying as a DO, or do you diagram the gerund as an adjective underneath the noun it is modifying? (I hope my question made sense.) Thanks for your videos and your reply.
I am not exactly sure what you are asking, but the gerund isn't used as a direct object, nor does it tend to take one itself. Instead a gerundive phrase would be used.
Latin is one of the most backwards languages other than legalism idk how it was ever a common language ancient Greek is my go too for ancient even frisian is easier Latin or Roman is so unnatural and i doubt modern day historians will even understand the actual concepts from desimating your own troops to classifying the same thing multiple times to a legal system that couldnt be more eastern philosophy and primitive when compared to ancient greek or English/British Roman isnt much different than middle eastern philosophy and law accept its much more idk how to say this cruel maybe relentless its harsh to an error we have a similair harshness in viking law except the viking law has an aspect of nature were rome does not they denotionalize things or take away from its worth by categorizing every thing a dog becomes canine lupas mammal ect when a dog is either wild or not and from an area so a dog from spain becomes these things lupas canine mammal but it was a dog from Spain youve lost something or a wild dog from germans forest now its all these things so is it wild or not nobody knows youve denotionalized it maybe it already has a name like chienne doggy in other languages all this becomes lost and its origins are lost in this Latin.
How do you say "Rendezvous"? The French way or some bastardization? Also, most linguist professors within the US pronounce Gerund correctly. If one is to teach a language, it'd be appropriate to correctly use linguistic terms of language. When you went to school learning English were you taught what an "Adjective" was, or instead what an "Adyiktuh" or some other nonesense was? "perhaps where you are..." I'm American. Texan, actually. Yeah, imagine that, a linguistically capable Texan.
Patrick Koren The standard pronunciation of "gerund" is dʒɛrənd or dʒɛrʌnd (where dʒ is more or less "j") in both American and British English dictionaries, and I have found no evidence of your own pronunciation.
Benjamin Johnson Gerund as [ge-ru:nt] from German grammars importing linguistic vocabulary from Latin (other latinate dialects of the time rendered "d" voicelessly in some cases) . Other grammars alternatively render [ge-ru:nd] since coming from, "gerundus"; that classically is rendered [ge-ru:nd-us]. The practice of "dʒ" comes from late/vulgar Latin, however, the system of pronunciation for many latinate loans into English (at least within the US) is based off of an "American" Latin standard (aka: repronouncing latin vowels in an anglian way as for laymen to comprehend). Which is why you'll hear people in the US say "ad infinitum" as [æd.ɪnfɪnaitʌm] instead of [ad.infinfɪni:tum]
Patrick Koren, I'm both a Latin teacher AND a Texan: imagine that! Pronunciation is ultimately shaped by the vulgar masses and not by linguist professors. My American Heritage dictionary agrees with Mr. Johnson on the accepted pronunciation of "gerund". I'll continue pronouncing it like Mr. Johnson and every other Latin and English teacher I know so that they'll understand what I'm saying.

The Romans preferred a gerundive phrase, as opposed to a gerund with a noun as its object.

I am trying to study for my exam this week but I'm getting more confused by the second. I'm supposed to know this stuff! Why did I forget it? D:
Great and informative overview. I saw two typos, both with forms of the verb "legere."
Pretty good video except for the Asian music wtf?
samluo404 that's what i'm saying
Sam Luo K
unbelievably helpful thank you!
Great lesson!
but like, "the joy of hearing you" would place "you" where in terms of "hearing" being a gerund in the genitive?
the word "you" takes the accusative of "hearing", I've found out in another video
That helped be a lot! Thank you!
This was really helpful! Thanks!
"reading books" is a noun in that sentence, a gerund is a verb acting as a noun
Not correct. The ancient grammarians give us plenty of evidence that the r is rolled (trilled, an alveolar trill) in classical Latin.
Thank you so much, very helpful indeed!!
Is _causā_ a preposition, postposition, or can it be used as either?
It is a noun, used here in the ablative.
At last a clear succinct explanation :-)
lmao love the music bahahah
I'm really confused. how is 'the boy devotes himself to reading books' making use of a gerundive. how is that an adjective.
otherwise, great video!
lengendo=legendo
It isn't in English, but it is in Latin.
odium and odia

Gerund is said as, "Geh-roont" not "Jair-uhnds"...
perhaps where you are, but not in the US.

work on your pronunciation of the latin words. There is no rolled r i'm pretty sure.
You're an idiot, lol. Latin rolls all of it's r's.
6 years ago, but whatever.
