[@jpriedy]

Holy shit this took me a week to learn in class and after watching your video and pausing to take notes, I totally understand it after ten minutes. Good fucking deal man

[@Matt-nx1uq]

+jpriedy Try one year of trying to learn the declensions... this guys video's actually make sense to me

[@lolboy546]

Thank you so much for making these videos. The declensions were really throwing me off, but you explain it clearly and concisely. :D

[@latintutorial]

I'd recommend that you still try to learn when and where macrons occur, especially since you may later be reading from texts that do include macrons (or poetry, where the line is determined by long and short syllables).

[@latintutorial]

Your teacher is right about the (lack of) use of the macron in ancient times, but wrong about its usefulness today: 1. For non-native Latin speakers (everyone), the macron tells us which vowels are long and which are short, to ensure proper pronunciation. 2. Certain cases are identified by a long vowel (-a vs. -ā in 1st declension). Is mīles nom/acc pl or nom sing? It's singular because of the short -es (the plural is mīlitēs). 3. If you read poetry, knowing longs and shorts is very handy.

[@agustingarcia5515]

A thousand thanks for your videos, they are awesome. could you please make more sentences in order to have a total understanding of declension. I'm a spanish speaker and it is a bit hard, since I try to learn it only with God's help and your videos. greetings from Argentina.

[@vladimirvalenwood3334]

why would anyone give this a thumbs down???

[@latintutorial]

That could just be a style choice by the dictionary. Some dictionaries don't show long marks on vowels followed by two consonants (so called long-by-position). Lewis Elementary Dictionary is good, as is Cassell's. You can also use wiktionary online, too. For authority, use the Oxford Latin Dictionary, which I believe follows the "no macra on vowels followed by two consonants" rule.

What about the Vocative case? "it is how it is" "obviously"

Personally, I would use a question mark in the nominative singular.

[@ippy3792]

What about the vocative case?

[@latintutorial]

Same as the nominative. Check out my video on the vocative for more.

[@cprk594]

Just curious, what does Latin officially classify the letter "u" as, a noun or a consonant? Since it sometimes functions like a w, as in "servus", or an "oo" sound, like "diu", is it just both?

[@latintutorial]

The ancients understood that u and i functioned as both consonants (consonantes) and vowels (vocales).

[@awesomedude2157]

Gratias tibi tam!! Ne subsisto?

[@stavenbyrne8010]

I agree with the blank in nominative singular. The data below proves it. lex, legis crux, crucis frater, fratris soror, sororis

[@WillelmusAestus]

Just one question: how do we know which nouns are masculine and which are feminine?

[@latintutorial]

For words that don’t have a natural gender (so, miles, soldier, masculine, has a natural gender), the best thing to do is to look it up, or use contextual clues to infer the gender (like an adjective that helps you with gender). There are patterns for gender in the third declension (e.g., -tus, -tutis words are feminine), but memorizing those rules may not be time well spent. And, you’ll internalize those rules the more you are exposed to third declension words and their gender.

[@WillelmusAestus]

Oh, so I guess it's a memory thing, even though it may become a second nature with time. Alright then, thanks for the reply.

[@iRedditShorts]

Salve! Can you make a video on third conjugation verbs, amabo-te? Unless you already covered it on some other video I'm not aware of. Gratias tibi ago.

[@michaeltomecsek10]

tip for verbs despite this being late just memorize the tense endings for all persons both singular and plural for all conjugations and helping verbs included

I’m confused, Why does the E in prīnceps turn into I in the other declensions?

[@gabywith5bsandani]

I was just wondering do I need to learn the vocative?

[@latintutorial]

+GamingAndBeyond For 3rds, vocative = nominative.

[@CAPace09]

Except in the second declension, but that's out of the scope of this video

[@Thesterness]

Subbed.

[@jonnymahony9402]

principis could also be a, o declension dativ and ablative plural right? Or is it in the third declension because if I remove the "is" from the word then I have princip- and with "p" it wouldn't belong to the a,o,u or e declension therefore only the third declension is left? A side note. I'm learning latin at my university (intensive course for my history class) and no one told me that you should always also learn the genitive word for each verb so that you know it's declension. I figured that out by myself after learning already about 700 vocabularies. So I'm struggling a bit with the ambiguities of some declension endings, is there a general pattern to it? I figured out that many verbs that end with -tus belong to the u-declension and not o-declension if they have an "us" ending but some weird vowel before it and the word sounds strange then I guess it's the third declension sometimes , but that's not enough I guess. I'm German, and it's really true, the hardest part of latin is the cases system. Thx for the videos !

[@legaleagle46]

To answer your question, no. "Principis" is always Third Declension Genitive Singular, because the Nominative Singular is "princeps," not "principus" (which is what it would be if it were a Second Declension noun). Remember, the Genitive Singular, not the Nominative, is what tells you to which declension a noun belongs.

[@Aditya-te7oo]

Jonny Mahony I'm surprised that you're having problem with Latin's case system despite being a native German speaker. 'Cause according to me Germans shouldn't have problems with Latin 'cause their own language German has cases too.

[@aleksamladenovic9271]

Hi,i really need your help so can you answer me some questions?I know that you have consonant and vocal nouns in third declension and genitiv in plural is different for them(consonant is -um and vocal is -ium) how do i make a difference between them like how do i know which noun is which type?Thanks in advance!

[@electronicwoe]

Woo! New video haha.

[@inutilus_1387]

what about the vocative?

[@legaleagle46]

The Vocative of third-declension nouns is identical to the Nominative, so there's no real point in highlighting it here.

Isn't princeps supposed to mean "the first" like Augustus who's the "princeps civitatis" or the "princeps senatus" (the first of the Senate, like the most honorable of the senators) during the Republic? And many thanks again for your videos :)

[@latintutorial]

It has a lot of meanings, chief being one of the more common ones. Princeps is also used a lot in respect to leading men of other ethnic cultures. But you're right, it is used for the emperors (especially early in the empire), and it's why we often call the first half of the empire (up to the tetrarchy of Diocletian) the Principate.

@@desativadoofficial I've Scriba and it doesn't have macrons.

@@Aditya-te7oo They are not really necessary, if you're just gonna read in Latin, they use macron in head words, only excluding them in examples and texts... but Scriba still is the best Latin Dictionary App that I found

[@Aditya-te7oo]

@@desativadoofficial Whenever I type Latin I use macrons, because of two reasons, 1. I can see which vowel is short and which vowel is long and 2. (I don't know of you but to me) it looks more beautiful than without macrons.

[@desativadoofficial]

@@Aditya-te7oo Scriba uses macrons in the key words and conjugations, only the texts don't, so, you can use to check the vowel quantity, and use another source for the texts that use macrons... but, remembering the vowel quantity is better than the text reminding you, well, good luck

[@hannalouisef]

This guy's voice is so similar to the guy from the youtube channel "Bible Project" I'm startnig to question if they're the same person

[@danielasanov1535]

Wait, so "princeps" looks like an i-stem - with the "-ps," a consonant plus an "s" in the nominative singular - so the genitive plural should be "-ium?" But according to online sources its not an i-stem, and the genitive plural is "-um." Is "princeps" an exception?
