    latintutorial Mr. Latintutorial;
    Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to create these videos to help students. You have no idea how much they have helped me in my Latin class, and without these videos I may have gotten a lower score than I usually would have. So thank you Mr. Latintutorial, for helping students like us understand our classes better.

    I don't do the vocative or locative in my declension videos because they are, in truth, minor cases for only a few nouns (names/titles for the vocative, cities/towns/small islands for the locative).
    Secondly, the vocative is the same as the nominative for all nouns except 2nd declension masculine singulars that don't end in -er/-ir. That's a pretty narrow subset.
    And thirdly (and most importantly), the vocative would take up space, which would mean my font would have to be smaller.

      i called parsing declining for the first 2.5 years of latin.
      then one semester the teacher said pars this and i was like 'what the hell is parsing'
      so i thought verbs declined as well etc but it was parsing

    The -nt ending on dormiunt is used for 3rd person plural subjects (e.g., "they"). If it were singular, it would be dormit, and the -t ending shows us that it's 3rd person singular ("he/she/it").

    Sorry, it's the American way! I address this a bit in the "Case Review" video. The American order, by the way, is attested to by the ancient Romans. So this reverse alphabetical order (which isn't reverse alphabetical if you include the vocative at the bottom, as most American texts do) is such for a reason.

    How can one tell the difference between "The mistresses (p) gave the girl's (g) toga to the boy" from "The girls (p) gave the mistresses (g) toga to the boy"? When the plural case ends with ae and the genative case also ends with ae. Your videos are amazing, by the way.

    • @latintutorial
      @latintutorial  9 років тому +4

      Adan Vega Thanks, and technically you can't grammatically, and have to rely on word placement (and even though Latin has a flexible word order, it does still rely on word order). Typically, the subject will begin the sentence: dominae puero togam puellae dant vs. puellae puero togam dominae dant. (Make this "the mistresses gave the girl's toga to the slave-girl" and you get an even nastier sentence: dominae ancillae togam puellae dant). So the standard word order conventions are subject-indirect object-direct object-verb, and genitives tend to follow the noun they are qualifying. It's somewhat similar to these English sentences where word placement means everything: the mistress gives the boy a tutor vs. the mistress gives the tutor a boy.

      You could. Word order is much more flexible in Latin than it is in many other languages (including English). However, the preferred word order always puts the conjugated verb at the end. Putting "puellae" at the end of the sentence puts emphasis on the noun rather than the verb (that is,it emphasizes that it is the GIRLS who are sleeping, not the BOYS, for example).

      ***** When you "decline" a noun, you give all of the noun's forms for all of the different cases (nominative, genitive, etc.) and numbers (singular, plural). Think of this as a list that you go down - hence the term "decline".

      mGradDarko seven, but he doesn't talk about vocative and locative in most videos because they're not used nearly as often as the big five

      AccordingToWillow That's right and thanks! As well, the vocative is identical to the nominative in most forms. I do have a video on the vocative case, if you're interested in that, but it really is a topic that can be addressed separately.

    I'm surprised Latin grammar is somewhat similar to Russian grammar

    Where is the vocative?

      In the vocative video! ua-cam.com/video/EtN_62_pKYs/v-deo.html
      Since the vocative is only interesting for the second declension singular (otherwise it's the same as the nominative), it's not essential when talking about declension forms, in my opinion.

    It's wrong he forgot the vocative case

      Not all that important, as long as he remembers to say something about it on the 2nd declension's lesson.

    lmao in french the prononciation is not the same at all, and the order is:
    Nominative
    vocative
    accusative
    genitive
    dative
    ablative
