Salve! My friend takes latin in school and I'm trying to convince her to teach me how so I can read Coniurationis Commentarium by Angelo Poliziano in the original language not the italian translation I found ;)
Nice! Do you want to take this? I'm going to make a class list.
Mod
I'll try ;) Im taking all honors classes this year and biology is so confusing so I might not constantly be available...
It'll be okay. Just try to look once a week. I can teach up to second declension right now, and moving on to 3rd feminine.
Roma non dedit servis regnumOf romans Not give slaves kingdom
Here is why we don't do google translate:
The verb goes at the END google! (I am is an exeption, but that's later)
It is entirely mixed up.
Here's the correct version:
Regnum servis Romanorum non dedit.
Yep I knew that the verb goes at the end :) and the nouns and weird genders shouldn't be to hard because I can speak italian and there are quite a few weird ones there.
Road is feminineSword is neuter
Mary is feminine (BY THE EPIC POWER OF THE "DUH" RULE!!)
Caesar is
Hill is masculine
So yeah. Gender's all over the place.
Lancet means neuter
Sox means feminine
Error means masculine
IN THIRD DECLENSION!!
Guys I have to leave. It's ten fifteen. Yup. It's late. So, bye!! (IDK HOW TO SAY IN LATIN!! Pessime, pessime. Non omptime.
La via is italian for road and its feminineLa spada is sword it's feminine too...
But we have weird ones like la Mano which is neither Cuz la is feminine but Mano is masculine.
Via is road in latin, too. But Gladios is sword.
Completely random but your profile pic reminded me I have to practice the piano part for my orchestras version of frozen... Lol
Hahaha thanks ;) I usually play violin and I never have to practice the orchestra music from my school but they need a piano player and I'm the only one who wants to so...
My mom is making me come upstairs. See ya later.
Now, the basics:
-There are five declensions (More on that lesson one)
-There are five commonly used cases (Again, more in lesson one)
-Pronunciation is slightly different, and there will be a post for that.
-NONONONEVER use Google translate to translate stuff. It is against my rules. And Latin has funky sentence arrangement. I will be able to tell..
-I AM THE TEACHER, I MAKE THE RULES. FOLLOW THEM.
-All vocab is nouns until further notice.
-If you don't post on each week's lesson, I will assume you have abandoned the class
-Feel free to chat! (in latin, of course)
That's all for now!
