Superlative Adjectives

[@juancasinisterra]

You're videos are insanely helpful for learning Latin. your channel, the Latin dictionary, and LLPSI are basically all one needs. Thank you!

[@latintutorial]

Happy to hear that!

[@ultrad-rex1389]

Thank you for this very informative video! I started watching you when I took an interest in learning Latin, and you've been extremely helpful. I appreciate your involvement of the words "quam", "vel", and "unus" because those words always confused me when I read Latin.

In English, we also use 'most' to mean 'very', by omitting the definite article. "This is most interesting!" Or even with the indefinite article: "He was a most peculiar man." So it is perhaps less surprising that Latin uses the superlative in this way.

Magnissimus!

[@zeenohaquo7970]

vērissimus, vērē

[@latintutorial]

Scilicet!

Hi, I’m in Latin 3 and your videos help a lot. I’m just having a really hard time keeping all of these rules and applications straight in my mind. Do you have any tips that would help me learn better? It’s an online so I’m kind of on my own with this...

[@latintutorial]

With the 91 Rules, think less about them being less individual rules in a long line of stuff, and more small variations of larger concepts. So, not “what is the ablative of price”, but more “what things can the ablative show, and how does that all make sense with what I know the ablative to be”.

5:36 why not athleta celerrima? isnt the gender of the adjective is dependent on the noun it is connected with or something else? can we also say athletus celerrimus to mean the athlete is male? like as we can make with dea and deus?

[@latintutorial]

There is no Latin word "athletus", so we use "athleta" for male athletes. Not all -a words are feminine, especially those that come from Greek, like this one!

Please do a video on some basin latin verbs, perhaps listed continuously and some maybe put into sentences??

[@ares395]

This may be a weird question but could you cover diminutives in Latin...? (if that's interesting enough). I think it could be interesting, because they are fairly common in most languages, aside from English, to the point where they are used on pretty much daily basis. I'm wondering if Latin behaves similarly. Also great video as always.

[@latintutorial]

Not a weird question! Diminutives gets into a topic that I don't *quite* know how to address: word formations. Or at least, I don't know how to address it in a way that isn't just a list of examples. So I'll need to look for a better hook to make these, or just turn them into a series of short videos!

[@TheAyanMan]

Any latin to english and english to latin translators that you recommend (preferably translate whole sentences)?

[@Jose-Daniel-Peloni]

MAGISTER!!!

When a more clever boy meets a cleverer boy and the more clever boy claims to be the most clever while the cleverer boy claims to be the cleverest...

[@xavierpaquin]

Thank you

[@plaustrarius]

Optime!

[@jacobparker7544]

do you essentially drop the ending and add -issimus to any adverb to make it superlative?

[@nathaaaaaa]

8:05 sorry if this is a dumb question, but what if I have two golden coins, but one of them is kinda dirty, so one coin is more golden than the other. Is that feasible?

[@ellabrandon535]

That would be comparative

[@RedOctober_]

I have a question, what if there’s two nouns of the same number case and gender in a sentence? Where would we put the adjective to not be ambiguous? For example: “Lupus et elephantus flavius veniunt” would that be “the elephant and the yellow wolf come” or “the yellow elephant and the wolf come”?

[@latintutorial]

Put it after the noun it is describing. The word order there really helps, along with the presence of the “et”!

[@stevied3400]

Dicis recte!

Optima pellicula! (ut solet?)
