  • The genitive case is the "of" case in Latin, and its most common use is to show possession, often a noun possessing another noun (statua Claudiae, Claudia's statue), but also an author of a work (carmen Vergilii, the poem of Vergil), or even someone who has a certain quality (virtus Bruti, the virtue of Brutus).

    Something interesting is that the 2nd declension ending -ōrum was made from analogy with the 1st declension ending -ārum. The -um ending is actually the remnant of the older genitive ending -ōm, which shortened to -om and became -um. (Source: the book "The Forms of Latin" by Roland Kent). So, "deum" for "deōrum" is actually the older version of the word.

    I think I got this right, but just to make sure....
    In an attempt to translate the first principle of what are commonly referred to as the "Seven Hermetic Principles", I came up with Lex Mentis, with the intent of meaning The Law of Mentalism, or Law of Mind, etc.... Is that correct?

    I find 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th. So are those ordinals representing the respective Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative, and Ablative? It may seem obvious to those at level two. I am seeking to isolate them from other ordinals such as declensions. So I think genitive is a case. And declesions are how the word or more specifically the noun changes according to the case. Or there may be more to it. TY.

    03:47 Why is the Mediterranean called Mare Nostrum and not Mare Nostrae? And what about two nouns like for example, "the dog of Titus and Claudia", will both nouns be in genitive case? Thanks!

    • @latintutorial
      @latintutorial  5 років тому

      1. Because Nostrum here is an adjective describing mare (nostrum is neuter nominative singular because mare is singular) and Nostrum is not the genitive of Nos.
      2. Yes, both Titus and Claudia would be genitive.

    Wow. So is it safe to assume that italian last names ending in -i originated in the application of the latin genitive case?

    • @latintutorial
      @latintutorial  4 роки тому

      Actually I think its more likely the -i ending in Italian last names is the plural, rather than the genitive.

    I still don't understand why we use the genitive when is a location. Like I live in Rome. Romae habito. Why not the ablative?

    • @spring-breeze9164
      @spring-breeze9164 Рік тому

      It's because it's not the genitive. It's the locative (an old latin case which got lost overtime and was used to indicate the location. It is now only used with cities / small islands' names as well as a few common words such as "domus", "humus" or "rus").

    At 0.36 'The Genitive of Possession'.
    Is genitive possession? Always possession? Never anything eles? Or are there uses when it is not showing whose or possession. IE the Genitive of possession is not a variation of the genitive case. IE You (or the narrator) are not saying in Latin there is the Genitive as well as the genitive of possession. IE A case 2 and a case 2a. You are calling it 'The Genitive of Possession', meaning 'Possession' is the English word for or meaning of genitive? TY.
    Beginners level.

    • @bonbonpony
      @bonbonpony 5 років тому

      Think of the genitive as of being part of something, or being held by someone (one thing GENERATES something else, like a branch sprouting out from a tree). In this context, it can express that someone owns something, or made something, or where something/someone originated from, or what something is made of (as in the material, or constituent parts). Whenever genitive is used in sentences in some grammatical constructs, keep this rule in mind, and it should help you understand how the grammar rule works internally and why does it use genitive in particular. This rule works for other languages that have genitive too, no matter if it is expressed with cases or some other mechanism.
      There's a similar "rule of thumb" for other cases too.
      Ablative cases are about things SEPARATING from something else and going away.
      Accusative cases are about moving UPON something, as the charges you put on someone else when you're accusing him, or when you talk ABOUT him.
      Dative works a bit similar, except now you're GIVING something to someone/something else. The motion is TOWARDS something, usually to its inside, as with a gift you give to something for him to embrace it and hold in their hands.

    There is one God, the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, who was given to died for the sins of the world, so that through him you you might be reconciled to His Father through the forgiveness of Sins brought through his blood on the Cross. If you repent(turn from your sinful lifestyle) and believe in this and are baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit you will receive the Promise of the Lord Jesus, being the Holy Spirt who comes from the Father.
