The Latin Noun System

After going over the parts of speech, it's time to get a closer look at each one, one at a time. Let's start with nouns. How does Latin handle nouns? How do nouns inflect, or decline? What's all this about gender for nouns? Masculine, feminine, and neuter? What does that mean? Let's dig in!

We all said we hated Latin when we studied it, but looking back at it, it was the best subject. The smaller classes , the interesting lectures (if you translated it right lol) and the advantages you get from it were worth it.

dang, what a blast from the past, took my first Latin course 23 years ago, I can't believe I used to speak this language - teacher made us memorize and recite in front of the class passages of Latin text, grading us on pronunciation and translation 😵‍💫

I took Latin in 7th and 8th grade (and sorta in 12th grade for the 'easy' A) but I'd swear we used another word for ablative. I've spent a little time looking for that alternate case word - is it possible the book (same book in 7th, 8th, and 12th - bright red with yellow lettering) used just the term 'prepositional'? This was some 40 years ago now. Any thoughts, Professor? In any case, I'm enjoying these videos. Keep it up. Also, for those who are still young students and have stumbled across this channel and these Latin videos... Latin helped me with understanding and using English more fully than any English class I ever took. (though I'd say most standard foreign romance language class will help with that). So, please don't just roll your eyes at this. I probably eked out an extra 20-50 points on my English SAT score, solely due to kinda knowing some Latin - particularly vocabulary.

It's really called Ablative case... but, if it's going to make you feel better, it does take prepositions too in some particular meanings...(Ablative of Agent, Ablative of Accompaniment...Ablative of Manner...). Keep following the course! It will all be covered. :)

@@farinap2000OK! Thank you for the answer. I just don't remember the use of the term 'Ablative'. Yeah, it's been a damned lotta years, but it seems like the term should be at least a little familiar to me. Oh, aging...

Is the use of the length marker (looking like the first tone mark) analogous to the use acute accent in the "ánus annus anus" example? I hadn't quite looked into it.

Yes. The macron (ā ē ī ō ū) marks length.

Wikipedia has an article on all sorts of diacritics like these and how they're used.

You just place it wherever the vowel is long. Basically a and ā are two different letters. As for that curvy thingy (ă) - never have I ever before watched a Latin course in which those were used. It's always explained as there are normal vowels and long ones with no distinct short group. I just ignore them. I also don't pronounce stuff like ae as two separate vowels (meaning two separate cyllables), I just combine them in one long syllable, cos that's what Luke Ranieri teaches, that's what Easy Ancient Languages teaches. I pronounce h as russian х, and I just generally use a lot of russian "flavor" when pronouncing stuff. I might sound very slavic, but at least I don't sound like I'm mocking an angry about a pinapple pizza italian (for example, I pronounce puella, not pueeellllaaaaaa🤌🍕, btw, any syllable ending with a consonant is considered long, that's why it's pu-'el-la, not 'pu-e-lla, also the default stress is on the third to last syllable, and is only on the second to last if it's long or the third to last does not exist, Idk why Dave teaches it in reverse)

@@ldmtag Thanks, I was confused when "an" ae was pronounced as separate vowels in a recording.
