  This

  The Latin word for "this", hic, has its own irregular declension. For now, just remember the nominative singular forms:

  	Masc.	Fem.	Neut.
  Nom.	hic	haec	hoc

  Infinitive + Solere

  In sentences with the verb soleo (solere, 2nd conj.), you will usually see an infinitive (verbs ending in -re, "to ..." in English). Soleo means "I am used to" or "I am accustomed to".

  Example: In lecto dormire soleo., which literally means "I am accustomed to sleeping in a bed." or, more fluently, "I usually sleep in a bed."

  mihi	to me
  tibi	to you
  ei	to him, to her

  Third Declension (Nouns)

  It is time to properly introduce the third declension! You already know quite a few words that follow the third declension. Masculine and feminine nouns follow the same pattern, while neuter nouns are declined differently.

  -	PATER	SOROR	NOMEN
  nom. sg.	pater	soror	nomen
  acc. sg.	patrem	sororem	nomen (=)
  nom. pl.	patres	sorores	nomina
  acc. pl.	patres	sorores	nomina (=)

  A rule of thumb: accusative neuter words are always the same as their nominative equivalent.

  ---

  Third Declension (Adjectives)

  Many adjectives of the third declension end in -is. These adjectives will get (-is, -is, -e) as additional information in the vocabulary lists.

  Passive and Deponent Verbs (3rd conj.)

  Deponent verbs are verbs that are passive in form, but active in meaning. Passive verb endings differ from their active counterparts. In this skill you will encounter the deponent verb loqui. Loqui follows the third conjugation.

  LOQUI	To Speak
  loqu-or	I speak
  loqu-e-ris	You speak
  loqu-i-tur	He/She speaks
  loqu-i-mur	We speak
  loqu-i-mini	You (pl.) speak
  loqu-u-ntur	They speak

  Passive verbs of the third conjugation follow the same pattern. (Note: most forms of "legi" aren't the most useful, but you can apply this pattern to other 3rd conj. verbs.)

  LEG-ERE	to read	LEG-I	to be read
  leg-o	I read	leg-or	I am read
  leg-i-s	you read	leg-e-ris	you are read
  leg-i-t	he/she reads	leg-i-tur	it/he/she is read
  leg-i-mus	we read	leg-i-mur	we are read
  leg-i-tis	you (pl.) read	leg-i-mini	you (pl.) are read
  leg-u-nt	they read	leg-u-ntur	they are read

  Adverbs of manner

  In English, you can recognize many adverbs by the ending -ly. What is the adverb in the following sentence?

  "We speak quietly in the library."

  This adverb is derived from the adjective quiet. Adjectives give us more information about a noun or a pronoun, while adverbs modify verbs, adjectives or other adverbs. "Quietly" is the answer to the question "How do we speak?", and modifies the verb speak.

  Adverbs derived from adjectives following the -us, -a, -um pattern get the ending -e.

  Adjective	Adverb
  tacitus, -a, -um	tacite
  novus, -a, -um	nove
  longus, -a, -um	longe

  Exception: bonus (good) becomes bene (well)! You learned this word in the Greetings skill. (Livia se bene habet. = Livia feels well.)

  Time

  For us, an hour is always sixty minutes. For Romans, an hour was defined as one twelfth of a day (the time between sunrise and sunset). This means that an hour in winter was much shorter than an hour in summer.

  While our starting point is at midnight (00:01 AM) or noon (00:01 PM), Romans started counting their hours at sunrise to tell the time. The "prima hora" was the first hour after sunrise.

  NOS ET VOS

  This skill mainly focuses on nos and vos (we and you). Vos is the plural you; you use "vos" to talk about more than one person.

  Latin	English
  Marce, tu es vir!	Marcus, you are a man!
  Marce et Stephane, vos estis viri!	Marcus and Stephanus, you are men!

  	1: HABITARE	2: STUDERE	3: LEGERE	4: VENIRE

  Accusative

  On to the next case! The accusative is the grammatical case used for direct objects.

  You can find the direct object of a sentence by asking the question "Who/What + does X + verb?", in which X is the subject.

  Example:

  • The man has a rose. What does the man have? -> a rose
  • The author writes books. What does the author write? -> books
  • I love you. Who do I love? -> you

  Declension	Nom. sg.	Acc. sg.
  1st	magistra	magistram
  2nd masc.	discipulus	discipulum
  2nd neut.	Novum Eboracum	Novum Eboracum (=)
  3rd	mater	matrem

  The plural forms are:

  Declension	Nom. pl.	Acc. pl.
  1st	magistrae	magistras
  2nd masc.	discipuli	discipulos
  2nd neut.	dona*	dona (=)
  3rd	matres	matres (=)

  (*donum = gift, present)

  ---

  -R (second declension)

  Not all masculine nouns that follow the second declension end in -us in the nominative, some end in -r or -er.

  Nom. sg.	Acc. sg.	Nom. pl.	Acc. pl.
  magister	magistr-um	magistr-i	magistr-os
  liber	libr-um	libr-i	libr-os
  puer	puerum	pueri	pueros
  vir	virum	viri	viros

  ---

  Third conjugation (-ere, -o)

  Legere/lego (to read) and discere/disco (to learn) are verbs that follow the third conjugation. You can recognize these verbs by the lack of a vowel at the end of the verb stem. (-i- is used to connect the stem to the endings, -u- for -nt)

  Subject	Legere	Discere	Agere
  ego	lego	disco	ago
  tu	leg-i-s	disc-i-s	ag-i-s

  SALVETE

  Welcome to the Latin course!

  ---

  No Articles

  There are no articles in Latin! The sentence "Ego vir sum." could mean "I am a man." but also "I am the man." However, don't forget to use the correct articles when translating into English!

  ---

  Personal Pronouns

  Personal subject pronouns are used for emphasis and can be left out.

  Example: Ego vir sum. = Vir sum

  Latin	English
  ego	I
  tu	you (sg)
  is, ea*	he, she
  nos	we
  vos	you (pl)
  ii, eae*	they

  • *Forms of the demonstrative pronoun is, ea, id

  ---

  Word Order

  Latin is very flexible. The most common structure is SOV (subject - object - verb), especially in prose, but there are many other possibilities, depending on what you want to emphasize.

  ---

  Gender

  Latin has three genders: masculine, feminine and neuter. In this first skill you will only encounter masculine and feminine nouns.

  First declension nouns are (generally) feminine nouns ending in -a in the nominative case. Examples are femina and puella.

  Second declension nouns are (generally) masculine nouns ending in -us and (generally) neuter nouns ending in -um in the nominative case. Examples are the names Stephanus and Marcus. Vir and puer are masculine nouns that follow the second declension as well.

  ---

  To Be

  In this skill you will learn the singular forms of the verb to be (esse, sum).

  Latin	English
  sum	I am
  es	you are
  est	he, she, it is

  ---

  Pronunciation

  This course uses Classical Pronunciation. A few things worth noting:

  • V sounds like the English W
  • C always sounds like a K
  • G is always hard and never J
  • AE sounds like the English word "eye"

  ---

  Cases

  Latin uses grammatical cases: words change when they get a different function in a sentence.

  Nominative

  The nominative case is the form of a noun you will find a dictionary. It is used for the subject of a sentences and for predicates following a form of "to be".

  You can find a subject by asking the question "Who/What + verb?"

  Example:

  • The man is sleeping. Who is sleeping? -> The man
  • I love you. Who loves you? -> I

  The predicate is the second part of a sentence following the "X is Y" pattern.

  Example:

  • I am a man. -> a man
  • These women are engineers. -> engineers

  Declension	Ending
  1st	-a
  2nd (masc.)	-us
  2nd (neut.)	-um

  ---

  Translation of Names

  A little convention: we will not accept translations of names as alternatives in this course. Marcus's name is Marcus, not Mark, and Stephanus is not Stephen or Steven.

  Third Conjugation (-ere, -io)

  Facere/facio (to make, to do) is a verb that follows the third conjugation BUT has a verb stem ending in -i. The two main differences are facio (and not "faco"), and faciunt (and not "facunt").

  Subject	FACERE
  ego	faci-o
  tu	faci-s
  is, ea	faci-t
  nos	faci-mus
  vos	faci-tis
  ii, eae	faci-u-nt

  ---

  Ablative: introduction

  Let's have a quick look at a new case: the ablative! The ablative has several uses, but for now, we will only use it after prepositions (see below).

  We will only use singular 1st declension and 3rd declension words for now.

  Nominative sg.	Ablative sg.	Declension
  Italia	Itali-a	1st
  urbs	urb-e	3rd

  When using macrons, you can recognise the nom. fem. sg. ending by the -ā at the end. (In contrast with the -a for the nominative.)

  ---

  Prepositions

  The words following prepositions (in English words like in, on, for, through) require certain grammatical cases in Latin.

  Preposition	+ Case	Translation
  ad	+ accusative	to
  in	+ accusative	into
  in	+ ablative	in
  ab/a	+ ablative	from
  cum	+ ablative	with

  Pay attention to the difference between "in + accusative" and "in + ablative".

  in urbe (in the city) - in urbem (into the city)

  ---

  A or Ab?

  This preposition has two forms: ab and a. Ab is used before words starting with a vowel or an H, while a is used before words starting with any other consonant.

  Latin	English
  ab urbe	from the city
  ab Italia	from Italy
  ab Hispanica	from Spain
  a Germania	from Germany
  a Graecia	from Greece
  a Philadelphia	from Philadelphia

  I would like

  In English we use the phrase would like when requesting something politely (in a shop, restaurant etc.). In Latin, however, we need a special verb form to express this. You would use velim in such situation.

  Subject	Verb
  ego	velim
  tu	velis
  is, ea	velit
  nos	velimus
  vos	velitis
  ii, eae	velint

  (Velim is the subjunctive of velle, volo, to want. For now, you don't need to remember this information.)

  Da mihi vinum!

  We have encountered mihi, tibi and ei earlier in the course. (Nomen mihi est...) These words respectively mean to me, to you (sg), and to him/her.

  This is the indirect object, which is in the dative case. You can find the indirect object by asking the question "To/For whom?".

  Example:

  • I give the book to him. To whom ? -> to him
  • I am sending you an email. To whom? -> (to) you
  • Give me the wine! To whom? -> (to) me

  ---

  Adjectives

  Just like nouns, adjectives follow declensions. The adjective solus (masc.), sola (fem.), solum (neut.) follow the first and second declension, and get the same endings as nouns: discipulus - femina - Eboracum.

  Have a look at how the ending of the adjective changes:

  Latin	English	Gender
  discipulus novus	a new student	masculine
  familia nova	a new family	feminine
  civitas nova	a new state	feminine
  Novum Eboracum	New York	neuter
  nomen novum	a new name	neuter

  When using sum, you also need to make sure the adjective agrees with the noun.

  Latin	English
  Marcus est Romanus.	Marcus is Roman.
  Livia Americana est.	Livia is American.
  Nomen est novum.	The name is new.
  Ego solus sum.	I am alone. (masculine)
  Ego sola sum.	I am alone. (feminine)

  Locative

  The locative case is a special case which indicates a location used for cities.

  Some general rules:

  • -a (first declension) becomes -ae
  • -us and -um (second declension) become -i

  Nominative	Locative	English (loc.)
  Roma	Romae	in Rome
  Novum Eboracum	Novi Eboraci	in New York
  Corinthus	Corinthi	in Corinth

  Other locations will generally get a preposition (in + ablative, we will deal with the ablative later in the course).

  Latin	English
  in Italia	in Italy
  in urbe	in the city

  Domi (at home) is an exception!

  ---

  Num

  The particle num indicates that the speaker expects a negative answer; the speaker would be surprised if someone answered yes.

  Compare the following sentences.

  Latin	English	Expected Answer
  Num Romae habitat?	Surely he doesn't live in Rome?	Negative
  Habitatne Romae?	Does he live in Rome?	- (neutral)

  ---

  -tas

  The suffix -(i)tas is the equivalent of the English -(i)ty. These nouns follow the third declension and are feminine.

  Latin	English
  universitas	university
  libertas	liberty, freedom
  difficultas	difficulty, trouble

  Salve(te)!

  In Latin, we use salve to greet someone. When you want to say hello to more than one person, you use salvete.

  Ave and avete are more formal greetings.

  ---

  Vocative

  Let's have a look at the following sentence.

  Salvete, Stephane et Marce!

  Stephanus and Marcus are being addressed in this case; you are saying "salvete" to Stephanus and Marcus. Most* masculine words ending in -us (2nd declension) will get the ending -e in this situation. Names ending in -a don't change. (Salve, Livia!)

  This is the vocative case, used for people being addressed.

  • *Words ending in -ius, however, change to -i (not -e)

  When translating vocatives to English, we keep the nominative/normal form.

  ---

  Nomen mihi est

  This is the most common way to say "my name is". For now, we will not go too deep into the grammar of this construction, but it is a useful phrase to know. Remember that Latin has no strict word order.

  Latin	English
  Nomen mihi est Marcus.	My name is Marcus.
  Tibi nomen est Livia.	Your name is Livia.
  Nomen ei Lucius est.	His name is Lucius.
  Nomen ei est Lesbia.	Her name is Lesbia.

  How are you?

  You will learn two ways to ask how someone is doing in this skill.

  1) Quid + ago? -> Quid agis?

  Literally, this means "What are you doing?"

  Subject	Verb
  ego	ago
  tu	agis
  is, ea	agit

  2) Quomodo + se + habeo? -> Quomodo te habes?

  Literally, this means "How do you have yourself/How do you feel?"

  Subject	Verb
  ego	habeo
  tu	habes
  is, ea	habet

  Se is the reflexive pronoun. (-self in English)

  Subject Pronoun	Reflexive Pronoun	English
  ego	me	myself
  tu	te	yourself
  is, ea	se	himself/herself

  ---

  Adverbs

  Bene (well) and male (badly) are adverbs. Adverbs are words that give more information about verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. In English these forms usually get -ly added, while in Latin adverbs of 1st and 2nd declension adjectives end in -e.

  • Bene dormio. - I sleep well. (and not "I sleep good.")

  ---

  -ne

  You stick the suffix -ne to the first word of a sentence to indicate that it is a yes/no question. The -ne is not mandatory and can be omitted.

  Latin	English	Potential answers
  Estne Roma in Italia?	Is Rome in Italy?	(Yes, it is./No, it is not.)
  Roma in Italia est?	Is Rome in Italy?	(Yes, it is./No, it is not.)

  ---

  First conjugation (-are)

  Habitare/habito (to live somewhere, to reside) is a verb that follows the first conjugation. You can recognize these verbs by the -a- in the verb stem. (The -a- merges with the -o for the first person singular.)

  Subject	Habitare	Amare (to love)	Stare (to stand)
  ego	habito	amo	sto
  tu	habitas	amas	stas
  is, ea	habitat	ama t	stat
