Latin Grammar Mini-Series | Lesson 11 - Pronouns
September 02, 2023 17:36 - 41 minutes - 37.7 MB“Personal” in grammar means “relating to person,” that is, first, second, or third person. In English, those persons are represented by pronouns: I, you, he, she, it, we, ya’ll, they. These MUST look familiar as they are forms we’ve already studied in relation to verbs. Now we’ll look at them independently as pronouns. So, how does Latin treat these forms, not as verb endings but as nouns? There is a caveat: they decline through cases as nouns do in Latin, so you have more to memorize. Rem...

July 10, 2023 17:18 - 20 minutes - 18.4 MBDemonstrative pronouns, like English words “this” and “that,” point at something. They’re often used as adjectives, as in, “this book” or “that tree.” In English, demonstrative pronouns take a different form in the plural: “this” becomes “these,” and “that” becomes “those” ─ making them one of the few English adjective forms which are different in the singular and plural. Though they are at heart adjectives, because they so often stand alone, it’s almost better to consider them pronouns...

Latin Grammar Mini-Series | Lesson 7 - Understanding and "fleshing-out" the Third Declension in Latin
July 05, 2023 18:19 - 25 minutes - 23.1 MBThird declension is Latin’s “catch-all” category for nouns. Into it have been put all nouns whose bases end with consonants -- yep, any consonant! That makes third declension very different from first and second declension. First declension, as you’ll remember, is dominated by a-stem nouns like femina and cura. Second declension is dominated by o- or u-stem nouns like amicus or oculus. Because of those vowels, we are given a bit of consistency within those declensions… The same is not true o...

July 03, 2023 17:08 - 30 minutes - 28.4 MBAvocado. The word avocado comes from the Nahuatl word ahuacatl, which means "testicle." This is because the avocado fruit is shaped like a testicle. The Nahuatl word was borrowed into Spanish as aguacate, and then into English as avocado. The word "avocado" is also interesting because it is a false cognate. A false cognate is a word that looks like it has the same meaning in two different languages, but actually has a different meaning. In this case, the Spanish word "aguacate" looks like i...
