I'm glad I found this page. it is so intuitive to learn. memorizing declensions is not the way to go. lingua latina per se illustrata is also brilliant but your channel is best.

I'm getting that feeling a lot with Italian lately! (I'm learning Italian through input) I think it's marvellous that the brain decides to rattle words around in your head after you've done a lot of listening!
It took me a while to realise that "pectus" is neuter and so the accusative form is also "pectus" and not "pectum" (if it were masculine) - i.e. why you weren't saying "suprā pectum" (wrong) but "suprā pectus" (right). Another "exception" to how nouns are declined, like "opus" (e.g. magnum opus)? My first comment on a video of yours, but thanks for all of the work you have put together in Latin pedagogy, including your playlists. Edit: now rewatching I realise you said ūnum pectus, which I did not pick up on originally
As someone who has taught college level anatomy, I really wish latin was still taught in school. Students would have struggled so much less to learn the names of parts of the body.
You mentioned in one of your videos that there is a service where in one may pay to speak to another person in Latin but I can’t remember what it was called and I can’t remember which video it was. Potesne me adiuvare?
Meum pectus, not meus pectus? Instinctively I would have said meum pectum and meus pectus, since I expect adjectives to match nouns. What am i missing?
Yes indeed, pectus is an interesting word because it is in the neuter gender but its nominative form ends in -us. You might not yet have seen many words in the pattern 'pectus, pectoris, neut.', but there is a group of neuter third declension words that go like this (eg. 'tempus, temporis', =time, 'lītus, lītoris' =shore). It takes a while to get used to, but 'meum pectus' is indeed the right agreement for the neuter noun pectus. You might also notice me using the form 'pectus' in the accusative (eg. intrā pectus, ad pectus), which also looks weird at first, but is normal for neuter nouns of this pattern.
tomorrow i'll start taking latin in med school but these terms look very different than anatomical terms we use in medicine. Like caput in latin, cephalic in anatomy. Now im more confused lol
I remember the Latin biblical verse under the dome of the St. Peter’s Basilica which reads “Tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram aedificabo ecclesiam meam” (Jesus said: You are Peter (masculine), and upon this Rock (feminine) I shall build my church), so I would suppose the personal pronoun adjectives would come after the nouns they modify, as in ecclesia mea, so caput meum, or venter meus 😁😁
Adjectives, including the possessive words meus, tuus, etc. can go either before or after the word they describe. In golden age authors like Caesar and Cicero, adjectives are actually statistically more likely to go before the noun, the opposite of what they do in the Romance languages. In general, Classical Latin word order is much more flexible than Romance.

Yay thank you!

Now I can’t get your voice out of my head; Latin is circling around my memory without me even trying!

What an ingenious way of teaching. Really amazing.
I'm so happy to have found your channel , you make it easier to learn latin .
Great job
This is more than great. I’ve been looking for more comprehensible input videos.

The way you pat your body is absolutely adorable. This videos are amazing! Gratias tibi ago Magistra!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Latin is surprisingly intuitive to understand. Thanks, this was fun and informative!

Wooooow you are the best teacher in the world. Thank you.
HEW... Beautiful lecture this was nuna!!!
Excellent content!! Very understandable!
The dog hairs on the cardi are adorable
The dog is even more adorable
Very nice teaching!! Thank you!!
Amazing! Thank you so much, Magistra Hurt!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excelente lección! Gratias!!
Great video! I learned a lot. :)
Thank you!
gratias tibi multas! Est bonum video!
Optime!
Gratias ago tibi magistra.
If I may ask, would "tergum vel dorsum" not be more appropriate than "tergum aut dorsum"? One does not either have a tergum or a dorsum.
Yes, vel is the better word here.
OMG your video is awesome and is also what exactly I want!!!!!❤❤
14:15 shouldn't accusative of 'duo pedēs' be 'duōs pedēs'?
That was awesome!
O, quam pulchre omnia docuisti in hac pellicula! :) Canalem tuum modo inveni.

MAGISTRA: Quid est hoc?
EGO: Umbilicus? 😆
You mentioned in one of your videos that there is a service where in one may pay to speak to another person in Latin but I can’t remember what it was called and I can’t remember which video it was. Potesne me adiuvare?
It was italki! There are some active Latin speaking tutors on that site with whom you can book a spoken Latin lesson.
@@FoundinAntiquity thank you!!
That was good fun, and learnt a few new words, thanks.
Thank you, I'm glad it gave some new words!
Quid? The introduction was not in Latin but in English? Haha, thanks for the video Magistra 😊💜
I'm glad you liked it!
Should it be “caput meum” because adjectives go after the nouns in Latin just as they do in Romance languages that descended from Latin? 😁😁
No. Classical Latin allows both positions and there is a statistically higher chance of an adjective preceding the noun than following it.
Meum pectus, not meus pectus? Instinctively I would have said meum pectum and meus pectus, since I expect adjectives to match nouns. What am i missing?

A lot of medical terms are also from Greek, or Greek terms made into Latin
Oh so capital of the state means the that state's head o

I moved from Germania Magna to Pannonia Inferior. The language is Ugric.
How long have you been learning Latin?
A long time, but there's always more to learn. I started when I was in grade 8 in school, which was in 2005.
Quid est in venter tuus?
in meo ventro est cibus :)

"Duas manus habeo". But "duo pedes habeo"
"Duo pedes habeo" vel "duos pedes habeo?"
It should have said 'duos pedes habeo' rather than '*duo pedes habeo''
wow :)

Grātiās!
Thank you for the wonderful video but please stop pulsāre your head 😂
