The Second Declension

[@meganfeltz44]

Thanks for the help. I just stared taking Latin this year and its online so its nice to hear someone read it to you!

[@latintutorial]

The five major cases (nom, gen, dat, acc, abl) make up about 98% of all forms in Latin. The vocative only about 2% (a majority of which forms are identical to the nominative), and the locative so minuscule an amount that it doesn't even register. The only reason why some are vocal about the vocative is that certain texts include it right away.

[@GnGCreations]

So I'm trying to tech myself Latin and I'm 13 and these are the best videos I've found yet! Good Job and THANK YOU!!!

[@smakyakproductions4466]

Mr Cool431 same here, what a coincidence.

You got it!!

[@tomasnovotny5633]

happy 18th birthday!

[@lavendermoon523]

Preparing for my Latin class tomorrow (we're learning the second declension & verb conjugations then) with your videos! Thank you very much

[@SuperShadow64]

Latin 101 student here, and OH GOD THERE ARE FIVE DECLENSIONS?

[@aarondelgado3421]

Yes, there are 5 major declensions, but the first three have the most words.

[@legaleagle46]

@@aarondelgado3421 Interestingly enough, Swedish also has five declensions, and I actually think those are harder than the Latin ones for me to keep straight!

[@unrealpenguin5010]

I thought there was only 2

[@lqygoshatesu]

@@unrealpenguin5010 RIPPPPP

[@Dave_Miller_NV_Vegas]

haha, good luck ;)

[@latintutorial]

The vocative will be coming in its own video. Really, since the vocative is just atypical in second declension singular nouns, it can be left out and dealt with separately. I think that forms like the vocative and locative can be taught by just teaching the rules rather than by including them in the paradigms.

[@SamoriahGames]

I could listen to you roll your r's all day

[@silvr94]

4:30 "deum" is the older of the two forms and the one we would expect (cf. Greek "θε-ῶν"). The GenPl "orum"-ending is more likely to have developed analogically to the female a-stem "arum"-ending.

[@SorenSPG]

Thank you so much, probably the most helpful thing on the internet

[@abigailbodenham4171]

Well im still gonna fuck up my latin test tomorrow

[@jitsuparker7833]

Abigail Bodenham I'm coming here cause I have a test tommorow 😂

[@abigailbodenham4171]

Parker Kam lmao good luck, I dropped Latin 2 years ago

[@felipizzio]

I had the expectation you would go and become a Latinist

[@kurochanish006]

Thank you for making these videos. I've been learning Latin 1 this year, and have had a long term sub the whole way through. He's not that great a teacher... These videos have helped me through my exams and are probably going to help me pass my Final tomorrow. So thanks, you've been a great help to my studies. :)

[@kimberlyw.1197]

Man you're rolling the tung

[@emmawebber9438]

Excellent set of tutorials; I am really enjoying them. Thank you :-)

[@Fxlovealltime]

More videos on different Latin grammar would really be helpful. Thanks a ton..I think now reading the book has become easy after seeing these videos. Make more!

[@stefinlithuania]

This Latin tutorial project is really awesome. No doubt. Time to time, though, there are some topics worth discussing. In this video I'd personally choose a different word than "servus", or at least integrate the presentation. This word is actually one of the few who usually keep the ending -ŏs instead of changing it in -us up to the Empire.

[@latintutorial]

+stefinlithuania Well, servus is a relatively common word for beginning Latin students, and it's taught in the standard, Augustan forms, and there's definitely no need to complicate in this video. I'd also be surprised if texts designed for intermediate students would incorporate the -os/-om forms, unless for Plautus/Terence plays where a whole lot of early forms are presented.

[@stefinlithuania]

+latintutorial You are for sure telling the truth, but... I mean... there are plenty of 2nd declension nouns (dominus, tribunus, lupus if you don't want an inanimate). In any case (...) anglo-saxon Latin teaching methods are different from ours. That doesn't mean worse. Thanks.

[@latintutorial]

+stefinlithuania Probably the best answer is that I made this video a long time ago, and if it were made today, I probably would have made different choices of words.

[@stefinlithuania]

+latintutorial This is eccellent work and there's nothing alike on the net. About books I don't know, since I'm not acquainted with literature on Latin in English. Wish you the very best. Cura ut valeas.

[@01andak]

Also, missed the locative, but for a beginner, this is understandable. It's much better to have a firm grasp of what is encountered 80% of the time.

[@giovansarto953]

as for the Locative, which is a lot of fun, 'The Life Of Brian' does a terrific job at illustrating its application .

[@jermbucky8933]

Tysm This is very helpful I was lost and this helped me very much!!!!

[@maxxknrd]

thank you so much I have finals in 2 weeks and now I know how this works thank you

[@youtubecommenter2]

I read on the internet that the Second Declension noun 'domus, domi' is feminine. Is this true?

[@latintutorial]

Yes. It can also have fourth declension forms.

[@hizac8492]

I know this is late and a non-related question, but why are the 'e' fonts different

[@latintutorial]

+Muhd Haziq Rohani I'm not sure what you're referring to. If it's the italic e, the font Hoefler Text has a different italic e within a word than at the end of the word (where the italic e stroke goes out for a while).

[@hizac8492]

+latintutorial oh... haha.. Sorry for taking your time answering a (probably) useless question. thanks for the awesome latin videos though. I learned a lot from them. Have a nice day :)

[@latintutorial]

+Muhd Haziq Rohani Not a problem! Questions like yours are entertaining and fun to answer.

[@saraheschrich6795]

So helpful and clear!!!

[@VideosSTTME]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the syllabification of puer ir pu-er; therefore, the accent must fall on the first syllable (should be pronounced as púer-, instead of puér-), by the rules of accentuation, unless the word exceeds 3 syllables (or is changed by enclitics).

[@isaacyoon3926]

lol all the grammarly ads I get from these videos are insane.

this was really helpful! Thank you

[@electronicwoe]

Most excellent as usual. :)

[@AirelonTrading]

Woah ... you do know your Latin. Finally someone who pronounces "v" properly ...

[@lavendermoon523]

By the way auto-generated subtitles are so funny here, agree I'll grow a groom 🤣🤣🤣

[@Russellm07]

The o explanation makes sense - 2nd decl in Greek is -os, -ou, -oi, -on

[@IkkezzUsedEmber]

I know i'm like 11 years late, but could you explain why you pronounce the e, which is not an ē, in servus elongated while you´re pronouncing the ī in servīs short?

[@AirelonTrading]

For some reason, nothing gives me worse fits than second declension ...

[@dohiri987]

yup, still going to fail my latin final

[@kerryhill9749]

I’m British and I write or say the cases in a different way than this video does ! Does it really matter ? I love your explanations but I always get in a pickle !

[@latintutorial]

The order of cases doesn't matter.

[@musicalmarion]

Omg all the comments are so long ago, a bit like Latin..

[@Crimsonstar23]

only halfway there?! :/

[@TorcidaCro]

I like your Latin pronunciation, it's not common among English speakers.

Where is Vocative?

[@latintutorial]

It's complicated enough that I address it in a separate video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6WxkGlolNV-j9U

[@akicana2001]

Why do you skip vocativus? It's kinda annoying

[@latintutorial]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6WxkGlolNV-j9U

[@latintutorial]

That's the video for the vocative. It's skipped in all of my declension videos because the vocative is always the same in form as the nominative except in masculine second declension singular forms. I found it best to not muddy the waters and go off on a long tangent describing the vocative case in this video, and instead go for consistency among all of my declension videos, while providing a full and complete discussion of the vocative case in a separate video.
