Latin and English: Cognates

[@adriani9432]

These are not cognates. Instead these are loanwords, which are words English adopted from Latin or a Latin-derived language like Norman French. An example of a cognate is the English word "mother" and the Latin word "mater". The English word is not derived from Latin, but both mater and mother are derived from a common Indo-European root.

[@objective_psychology]

The word “cognate” on its own is often used very loosely to just mean “something related”

[@DrPonner]

​@@objective_psychology by who? I don't often hear people use "cognate" outside of language-related (e.g. linguistics, language learning, conlanging, etc.) circles and those circles use cognate strictly in OP's sense and "loanword" otherwise.

[@objective_psychology]

@@DrPonner I meant in the context of linguistics, so related as in a linguistic type of relationship

[@UnrealPerson]

Or (I think) English "way" and Latin "via".

[@sethhatfield6293]

Behold, the classic “erm look at me I’m so smart! Because I can spew semi-coherent pedantic nonsense and pretend to have my big gotcha moment!” All loanwords fall under the umbrella of cognates. Not all cognates however are loanwords. It’s literally that simple. You’re not as smart as you think you are, you’re just a clown trying to pretend that you have a shred of intellect to offer.

i just found your channel and im so excited. cant wait to learn everything, the only problem is that in some playlists it says that many videos are unavailable, for example in "latin" playlist as much as 22 videos are unavailable and hidden from the playlist. i don't understand why that is. i really wish I could watch all fo them. : (

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

They are released on a schedule don’t worry you’ll get them all

[@Dasyuhan]

These are loanwords, not cognates. Cognates are words like hundred and centum which come from same yamnaya speech

[@jamiegallier2106]

Much appreciated.❤

[@DanielMWJ]

For those wondering, the \-io words becoming \-ion in English because \-ion- is the stem form, which is what it is ultimately from. (As from a declined form) It's not just completely random or anything.

[@DrPonner]

I figured it was cuz that's how those types of words ended up in French

[@harithanam8551]

hearing pure Latin for the first time why does every word sound so epic??? i just want to speak dramatic Latin now ❤ new hobby thanks Dave

[@gabor6259]

You're gonna love the polýMathy channel.

[@Skeazy_L]

Its not pure Latin, ex. militia = Militsia

[@waelfadlallah8939]

I was the very first to distinguish Professor Dave's astonishing pronunciation capabilities. Little did i know, it will turn into a new lovely series

[@DeepSpace145]

Latin sounds so clean and epic... beautiful language.

[@johndoe5061]

Great stuff Dave... always love your stuff!

[@cspahn3221]

I started ordering books on how to teach myself Latin right when you starting making this series, much thanks

[@AnarchoReptiloidUa]

Thank you for this informative and interesting video. ❤❤❤

[@mbberry135]

Jecerunt does have cognate in English. Eject, Project I have been looking for that word for a while. That You.

[@UnrealPerson]

Yeet

[@TheDrumstickEmpire]

That feels like more like a translation than a cognate. Eject comes from Eiectus, and is this a loanword.

[@zmohamas]

Thank you, ❤❤❤

[@RaissaMUTUYEMALIYA]

Thanks ❤

Opinion on the legality of gasses used in Vietnam and Korean wars by US forces?

[@biology6034]

HE

[@petersage5157]

Fun fact: If a word appears to be a cognate but has entirely different meanings and etymologies in different languages, it's called a "false friend." Pulcherrimus seems to be a near cognate of pulchritudinous, which is a "well-lettered" word for beautiful.

[@eastvandb]

I was going to bring up "Pulchritude", but your example is way better.

[@petersage5157]

@@eastvandb Same church, different pew; Dave's example was the noun version. They all derive from pulcher. Still, Dave's right in that the English equivalent isn't in common use. By the way..."you're"? ;p I'll chalk that up to a hasty autocomplete.

[@eastvandb]

@@petersage5157 I have no excuse! I was typing on a keyboard. But too much texting has made me sloppy. I'm going to correct that now, so as not to appear too foolish to future generations.

[@DrPonner]

Like Spanish molestar = "to bother" and not "to molest"

[@rheiagreenland4714]

Actually, the way I've heard it, "False Friend" can mean that, but it can also just mean two words which etymologically are cognates but just happen to have different meanings in their different languages. "False Cognates" would probably be better to use if you specifically mean that they don't share a common origin. Not an expert on this kind of terminology though

Opinion on Sloot Digital Coding System and general concept of converting digital data to an analog keyed format. (i.e both systems know the key of data being sent and need only display parameters, similar to adobe post script)

Happy new Hair-do. 😉

[@HilevyAlfredsdotter]

There is a leader of a swedish political party that don't think we been to moon, and he can't just denie that there can be a possibility that the earth is flat. We so lucky that this party only is 0,08 % big😅 What a moron😂

[@RicardoMorenoAlmeida]

I was under the impression that the letter J only appeared in the 1500's. If that's correct, janitor and junior should be spelled ianitor and iunior.... 🤷‍♂

[@Langwigcfijul]

True, but modern convention has the sound /y/ as 'J', just like /w/ and /u/ are written as 'V' and 'U' but during the classical period are both 'V'.

[@peterwyetzner5276]

It's really the same letter as I. If you look at most Latin dictionaries, they will use the J instead of an I when it falls at the beginning of words, as in juro or justitia. But the Oxford Latin Dictionary, which is now the most authoritative, decided to go back to the classical use of I in all cases, so iuro and iustitia.

[@CoastGraffiti]

You're correct, we generally spell it using modern lettering for ease of learning. They also didn't have the letter u. V was used as both a vowel and consonant. Also for most of history romans exclusively wrote in all caps with no spacing

[@Xamaza]

people dont like latin :D
