With the basics of phonetics covered, it's time to start talking about Latin grammar. This may seem terrifying, but let's start very simply by defining the parts of speech as they will be used in Latin. You are probably familiar with most of these, things like nouns, adjectives, and verbs. Let's make sure we are on the same page about this concept before diving into the tough stuff!

The thing with Latin is the word order in a sentence isn't fixed at all. You absolutely need the grammar to make sense of many texts.

While that can be a problem at first, it also gives you a lot of freedom when dealing with the language. Its a great feature for poetry for example. But as a rule of thumb: Always look for the predicate of the main sentence first (what was done), then build the sentence around it (who did it -> noun; who did the noun do it to -> object; etc). Once you get the drift of it, its rather easy, even for lengthy sentences like Cicero's stuff.

We have the same freedom of words in sentences in Ukrainian language. U can build it anyhow and one will get it @@corlunae

@@corlunaeI've translated some books from the Renaissance. Some authors at the time were not interested in writing in the purely classical style of Cicero or Sallust; and produced much longer sentences built on a series of dependent clauses nested one within the other that have to be unsnarled.

I took, and could speak, Latin so many decades ago in high school; this needs to be a short video on the TikTok app or Instagram, so these kids nowadays can learn how to speak properly or at the bare 🐻 minimum somewhat coherently hehe

Hey Prof. Dave! I was wondering if I could make subtitles in my native language for your academic tutorials and debunks as I wanted to introduce your channel to my country's audience. Thanks! And apologies if my English is a bit stale.

@ProfessorDaveExplains when i look at your playlist for latin, 16 of the 21 videos are unavailable at my location (Denmark). Not sure whether you or youtube have done so. I assume you already know either way, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. A bit disappointed. Also had the realization that it probably happens a lot and I just never realize.

@ProfessorDaveExplains 2 месяца назад

They are released on a schedule, don't worry you'll get them all.

For what it's worth, Old English (Anglo-Saxon) was highly inflected, and word order was important. Of course, that is/ was a Germanic language. Things started to changed with the influx of Norse speakers (Vikings!). They could kind of understand each other, but in those areas where Norse was a strong influence, things had to change a bit. And then there came the Norman Conquest. They used to be Vikings, but had adopted Old French, which was mostly a romance language. And modern English is now littered with French/ Latin words, or derivatives thereof, as the Normans, and their descendants, dominated the elite for centuries. For anyone reading this, though, have a look at Winston Churchill's famous 'We shall fight on the beaches' speech. Find the one word in that speech that is not of purely Anglo-Saxon origin. Was that deliberate? EDIT: Can anyone think of a suitable Anglo-Saxon derived word that he could have used?

@DrPonner 2 месяца назад

It seems to be a general trend in the majority of the Indo-European languages to simplify the case morphology and rely more on syntactic (word order) strategies. You see the reduction (and often complete elimination of) of cases in the Germanic, Romance and Indo-Iranian languages. Slavic languages seem to have kept them more conservatively. As have Greek and Armenian. Though few if any have kept ALL the 8 cases of the Indo-European language ancestor.

Honesty or information is noun how?

@corlunae 2 месяца назад

Just out of curiosity: what category of words would you put them in instead?

@AttilatheNun-xv6kc 2 месяца назад

They are *abstract nouns* (intangible).

@carultch 2 месяца назад

People, places, things, or concepts, are nouns. In other words, it is the stuff that can either act, or be acted upon, that makes up a sentence. Could be something physical, or could be something that is just an idea.

@Claudius_Ptolemy Месяц назад

Because they can be the subject of a sentence, like: "Honesty is great" or "the Information is here." Also, since you can put adjectives to them like "brutal honesty" or "Important information" they are nouns.
