Quiz on the reflexive pronouns:

 

The forms for the reflexive pronouns are as follows.  There is no form for the nominative and vocative.

 

                  (myself)       (ourselves)        (yourself)         (yourselves)

Nominative  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Genitive      mei                nostri               tui                    vestri

Dative         mihi               nobis               tibi                    vobis

Accusative  me                 nos                  te                       vos

Ablative      me                 nobis                te                     vobis

Vocative     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

For third person singular and plural, the forms are the same.  You tell them apart by context, looking back to the subject.

 

                      (himself/herself/itself)                  (themselves)

Nominative -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Genitive                  sui                                          sui

Translate this passage on the Eucharist by St. Thomas Aquinas:

O Salutaris Hostia ______________________________________

Quae caeli pandis ostium! ______________________________________

Bella premunt hostilia.______________________________________

Da robur; fer auxilium!______________________________________

Vocab:

salutaris, salutare [saving]

hostia, ae [victim]

qui quae quod [who, which] *the antecedent of quae is hostia.  Quae here is NOMINATIVE

caelum, i [heaven]

pando pandere pandi passus [open]

ostium, i [door]

bellum, i [war]

premo premere pressi pressus [overwhelm, press hard, oppress]

Give the tenses for amare, timere, and regere only for 1st person.  Here are the answers:

amo amabam amabo amavi amavero amaveram

timeo timebam timebo timui timuero timueram

rego regebam regam rexi rexero rexeram

 

Here is the chart for he she it.  The chart after it is for the plurals: they (masculine), they (feminine), those (neuter)

Don't worry about the chart for the reflexive pronoun.  We will do that tomorrow.

Don't worry about finishing the translation from the worksheet.  You do not need to turn it in.  Focus on the following quiz.  I don't want to give you too much.

 

Memorize these charts for a quiz:

 

Ille, illa, illud means "that."  It is a demonstrative adjective.  For example, "That man is good."  It becomes a demonstrative pronoun when used alone.  For example, "That is yummy."  Here is the chart:

 

ille      illa       illud                illi           illae      illa

illius ------------------>                illorum    illarum   illorum

illi ---------------------->               illis ------------------------>

illum   illam    illud                illos        illas       illa

illo      illa       illo                 illis ------------------------>

ille      illa      illud                 illi           illae       illa

 

Memorize the charts for ego (I), tu (you singular), vos (you plural), and nos (we).  Here they are:

 

ego

mei

mihi

me

me

ego

 

tu

tui

tibi

te

te

tu

 

vos

vestri

vobis

vos

vobis

vos

 

nos

nostri

nobis

nos

nobis

nos

 

Here are your 5 sentences:

 

1. That woman to whom we gave the dragon was big, man!

do dare dedi datum

draco draconis

 

 

2. That boy ate that animal for us.

manduco (1)

*dative case is to or FOR

 

3. This man whose arms are long loves you.

brachium, i               longus, a, um

 

 

4. These monsters gave those gifts to you (plural).

monstrum, i         do, dare, dedi, datum                   donum, i

 

 

5. The eyes of these women who ate too much are looking at me!

oculus, i              manduco (1)            nimis (too much)     specto (1) (look at)]

*Make sure that you put "of these women" in the genitive.  Then the "who" must match women in number and gender BUT NOT CASE.  The case of "who" is determined by its function in the relative clause.

No homework!  Just work on your corrections.

Quiz on worksheet 33.  It is attached.

 

singular:

Qui        quae     quod

cuius      cuius     cuius

cui          cui          cui

quem       quam    quod

qui          quae      quod

 

plural:

qui         quae      quae

quorum quarum quorum

quibus quibus quibus

quos       quas     quae

quibus quibus quibus

qui          quae quae

 

The translations of qui quae quod are:

nominative: who, which

genitive: of whom, whose

dative: to whom

accusative: whom

ablative: by/with/from whom

vocative: who

 

Answers to questions:

 

A relative pronoun is a noun with an antecedent which begins a relative clause.

 

The man who sings laughs.

 

The man whom God loves loves God.

 

The charts for Hic haec hoc are here.

 

 

A demonstrative pronoun is a noun with an antecedent that points it out.  Hic haec Hoc used without a noun, becomes a demonstrative noun.  Without a noun, it is a demonstrative adjective which just means "this, these."

 

Hic vir est bonus = this man is good

Haec est bona = this (woman) is good

Quiz on the worksheet we did today.  Attached is the worksheet.  If you did not fill it out in class, ask a classmate.  You are responsible for getting the answers yourself.

Attached is the quiz.

 

For each stanza of the "Veni, Sancte Spiritus," you will first give the translation.  Then, you will summarize the meaning of the stanza and write it out - a quick one sentence summary.  Then you will identity the beauty of the stanza, giving a reason for word order - sandwiches, parallel structures, placing a word first for emphasis, and/or chiasm.

Bring $5 to help pay for the expenses of Roman day.  If you want, bring olive oil, juice, or a toga!

Translate the passage from pg. 97 in your book ON A SEPARATE PIECE OF PAPER.  YOU WILL TURN THIS IN ALONG WITH THE WORKSHEET WE DID TODAY.  There will be a quiz on random sentences tomorrow.  Here are some helpful hints for the translation.  These notes go in order of the translation:

 

"tribus diebus" is ablative of time = in three days

 

"volebat" is in the imperfect tense (an ongoing past action) = was wanting

 

"advenire" = to arrive ("venire" means to come and "ad" means to; thus, when you come to a place, you arrive)

 

"volebat" takes a complementary infinitive, here, advenire = was wanting to arrive

 

Syrum is the accusative for Syrus, i.  This is a proper name: Syrus.

 

iubebat is from iubeo, iubere [to command, order].  Again, this is in the imperfect tense.  "iubebat" = was commanding (a past, ongoing action: that's why there is an "ing" on "commanding")

 

"virga" is ablative of instrument = by a stick

 

Dum = while

 

ibant comes from eo, ire [to go], an irregular verb.  You can see the "bant" ending as imperfect.  "ibant" = they were going (see the "nt" in "ibant")

 

specto, are [to look] *see the imperfect ending! Here is the chart:

 

                                  spectabam           spectabamus

                                  spectabas            spectabatis

                                  spectabat             spectabant

 

qui = who

 

quae = which

 

per Viam Appiam = through the Appian Way (a very famous road in Rome)

 

erat = was *remember eram, eras, erat, eramus, eratis, erant

 

rusticus, a, um [rustic, rural, country]

 

non iam = not yet

 

quiesco, quiescere [to rest]

 

raeda, ae [carriage]

 

dormio, dormire [to sleep] *like dormitory

 

Marcus pede vexabat Corneliam quae dormire volebat.

      *pede is ablative of instrument = with [his] foot

      *quae = who (this refers to Cornelia)

      *volo, velle [to wish]

      *Marcus was bothering Cornelia with [his] foot, who was wanting to sleep.

 

raedario comes from raedarius, i (m) [carriage driver]

 

cum raedario Syro = with the carriage driver Syrus

 

sedeo, sedere [to sit]

 

specto (1) [to look]

 

vehiculum, i (n) [vehicle] *vehicula is neuter plural accusative = vehicles

 

subito (adverb) = immediately

 

auriga, ae [charioteer, chariot driver]

 

magno risu = ablative of instrument = with a big smile

 

Non est auriga, fatue! = It is not a charioteer, stupid!  * "stupid" is in the vocative case.  It can also be translated as a substantive "O stupid one" or "O stupid man" :)

 

tabellarius, i [letter carrier, post man]

 

qui = who

 

fert = carries *this comes from fero, ferre [to bear, carry], an irregular verb.  Here is the chart:

 

                              fero          ferimus

                              fers          feritis

                              fert           ferunt

 

civis, civis [citizen] *remember, this is a 3rd declension i stem!!!  That's why you see "civium."  This is a 3rd declension noun with the same number of syllables in the nominative and the genitive [parisyllabic].

 

praeclarus, a, um [distinguished] *epistulas civium praeclarorum = the letters of distinguished citizens

 

celeriter = quickly *this is the way to make adverbs for 3rd declension adjectives: add an "iter"

 

omnis, e [all]

 

quam celeriter = how quickly

 

virga *see the ablative of instrument!

 

Caveo, cavere [to beware]

 

teneo, tenere [to hold]

 

vito (1) [to avoid]

 

magno fragore = with a great crash *this is ablative of manner.  Usually, the ablative of manner uses "cum" but when the noun is accompanied with the adjective, you can cut the "cum out."  

 

descendo, descendere [to descend, fall]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No quiz tomorrow.  God bless!  You guys are the best.

Finish the worksheet.  Quiz on the worksheet.  If you need the worksheet, it is attached.

 

Here are the answers from where we left off.

 

Do you love horses?  Amas equos?

Do you (sing) love good men? Amas bonos?

Do you (singular) love evil women? Amas malas?

The blessed man walks with God.  Beatus ambulat cum Deo. [cum+ablative]

Kill (pl.) me!  Necate me!

Ama me!  Love me!

Give (sing) good gifts to God.  Da dona bona Deo.

Date dona bona amicis.  Give good gifts to friends.

They will give bad gifts to enemies.  Dabunt dona mala inimicis.

She can be good!  Potest esse bona.  [sum, esse, fui, futurus *use the completmentary infinitive; also, bona must be feminine to match the subject *remember that "sum" takes the nominative case]

They (masculine) can be evil.  Possunt esse mali.

 

Sum esse fui futurum in the future:

Ero (I will be)                           Erimus (We will be)

Eris (You will be)                     Eritis (Y'all will be)

Erit (He/She/It will be)             Erunt (They will be)

 

Today I (masculine) am good.  Hodie sum bonus.

Tomorrow I (masculine) will be bad.  Cras ero malus.

They will kill the evil queen tomorrow.  Cras necabunt reginam malam.

Amici erimus Dei.  We will be the friends of God.  [SORRRY!!  The worksheet says "amicos" but it should be AMICI (the nominative plural!!!!!!!!!  Remember that "sum" takes the nominative case!!!!!)]

The devil will never be my friend.  Diabolus numquam erit amicus meus.

Quiz on the attached sheet.  The answers we got in class.  If you were absent, get them from a classmate.

Quiz on Jason and the Argonauts.  Read the reading given in class.  Actively read: underline, circle, highlight, and make notes in the margins.  You will turn in the reading for a grade (I will check that you actively read).

Quiz on the rest of Book I of the Odyssey.  Read actively!  Underline and highlight.  Make notes in the margins.  I will collect your Odyssey packets to check for this.

 

Here are the extra three Latin sentences:

 

1.       O Mary, help us and give the gifts of grace to your friends!

 

*remember that "Mary" is in the vocative case.  You are addressing Mary, who is singular.  Thus, the command "help" is going to be a singular command.

 

adiuvo (1) [help]

 

Here is the declension of nos [we] * "we" in the accusative is "us"

 

Nom.              nos

Gen.               nostri

Dat.               nobis

Acc.               nos

Abl.               nobis

Voc.               nos

 

et [and]

do, dare [give]

donum, i [gift] *be careful of the neuter plural here!

gratia, ae [grace] *see the genitive with "of"

tuus, a, um [your] *make sure that this matches with friends

amicus, i [friend] *see the "to" - get it in the right case!  Give a gift to your date!!!!

 

2.          Devils will fly to the sins of men and women.

 

Diabolus, i [devil]

volo (1) [fly]

 

ad + accusative *here, the "to" is NOT dative!!!  You are not giving anything TO anyone.  This "to" signifies "motion towards."  Thus, we must use the latin word "ad."  "Ad" takes the accusative case.  Thus, in the sentence, "sins" must be in the accusative case.

 

peccatum, i [sin] *see the neuter plural!!!  Write out the chart!!!

vir, viri [man] *see the OF: get the case right!!!

et [and]

femina, ae [woman] *see the OF: get the case right!!!

 

3.   O men of God, you will never fear the devil and the lies of sin!

 

vir, viri [man] *use the vocative case: see the O... direct address!!!

Deus, i [God] *still in the genitive case: see the OF

numquam [never]

timeo, ere [fear] *the "you" is inside the verb.  You know that the "you" is plural because of the vocative "O men of God"

diabolus, i [devil]

mendacium, i [lie] *never fear WHAT? The lies of sin...

peccatum, i [sin]

 

 

Do your corrections.

 

Attached is the quiz.  No answers will be given.  You must figure them out.  You can do it!  I need to make sure that you do not memorize the answers.

 

Remember the endings for the future:

bo            bimus

bi             bitis

bi             bunt

Remember how to make singular commands (infinitive - re)

Remember how to make plural commands (infinitive - re + te)

Remember that for masculine substantives, the word "man" or "men" is implied, depending on whether the substantive is singular or plural.  If it is a feminine substantive (e.g. bona, bonae), the word "woman" or "women" is implied.  If it is a neuter substantive, the word "thing" or "things" is implied.

__________________________________________________________________

Here are the answers to the questions we did not go over in class:

 

Vicina villa nunc ardet. [put the adverb before the verb, not after the verb; remember that "ardet" can mean "burns" or "is burning," which is the progressive present]

 

Cibus est laetus in stomacho viri.

 

Regina irata necat laetos.

 

__________________________________________________________________

 

The angry man kills queens: 1) Iratus vir necat reginas.  2) Iratus necat reginas.

 

Bonus non necat.  The good man does not kill.

 

Iratus semper necat.  The angry man always kills.

 

Bona semper amat.  1) The good woman always loves. OR 2) He/she/it always loves good things.  [Bona can either be a feminine singular substantive in the nominative case or a neuter plural in the accusative case]

 

Bona non necat.  1) The good woman does not kill.  OR 2) He/she/it does not kill good things.  [again, bona is ambiguous - it could either be a feminine singular substantive in the nominative or a neuter plural substantive in the accusative.]

 

Amo bona dona.  I love good gifts.

 

Bona sunt de Deo.  Good things are from God.

 

They love good things.  Amant bona.

 

Bad food is a bad thing.  Cibus malus est malum. ["bad thing" can be written by the substantive "malum."  Malum is neuter and so it is a "thing," not a bad man or a bad woman, but a "bad thing."]

 

Good men do not kill bad men.  Boni non necant malos. [remember to put "non" before the verb]

                                                    THIS IS TRANSLATED WITHOUT CUM                                                                   BECAUSE YOU ARE USING AN INSTRUMENT                                                     (A SWORD IN THIS CASE).

 

This would be translated as "Neco inimicos gladio."

"I kill enemies with a sword" means the same thing as "I kill enemies by a sword."

 

Therefore, the translation of "I kill enemies by a sword" is also "Neco inimicos gladio."

 

With Mary and God, I love friends.     =   Cum Maria et Deo, amo amicos.

(Here, use "cum" because this is the ablative of accompaniment NOT the instrumental ablative).

 

By a shield, I defend.                          = Scuto, defendo.

(Here, you do not use "cum" because you are using the intrumental ablative.)

 

Conjugate sum

 

sum            sumus

es               estis

est              sunt

 

Conjugate possum, posse, potui, ------- (this verb has no fourth principal part)

 

possum      possumus

potes         potestis

potest        possunt

 

In Latin, with this verb, you usually need a complementary infinitive, i.e. an infinitive to finish the meaning of the verb "can."

 

The infinitive is the 2nd principal part of a verb.  It is translated as "to ..."

For example, amo amare amavi amatum; amare = to love

laudo laudare laudavi laudatum; laudare = to praise

neco necare necavi necatum; necare = to kill

 

With Mary, I am able to love.     = Cum Maria, possum amare.

(Use "cum" [ablative of accompaniment];

the 2nd principal part of amo is amare: amo, amare, amavi, amatum;

Use the infinitive "amare" to complete the meaning of "possum")

 

In God, you (singular) are able to love Mary.    =  In Deo, potes amare Mariam.

 

They can kill.      =  Possunt necare.

("to be able to... " means the same as "can..."

So, "Possunt necare" means both "They are able to kill" and "They can kill.")

Attached is the Quiz for Monday.  It is blank.  You can practice on it.

Translations:

 

We praise the queen.             I move the gift.           The boys give gifts.

Das dona.                              Amat bellum.               Amant bella.

Quiz on abnormal 2nd declension nouns and classical literacy terms 1-10.

 

Attached is the blank Latin Quiz.  Fill it out and practice.

 

Here are the answers:

 

Give the 2nd declension masculine endings:

us               i

i                  orum

o                 is

um              os

o                 is

e                 i

 

Decline equus, i (this is NORMAL - drop the "us" and put the endings in)

equus        equi

equi           equorum

equo          equis

equum       equos

equo          equis

eque          equi

 

Decline vir, viri [man]           (this is ABNORMAL TYPE 1 - don't drop anything here - keep the nominative and add the endings; notice that the vocative is the same as the nominative in this case!!!)

vir             viri

viri            virorum

viro           viris

virum        viros

viro           viris

vir             viri

 

Decline puer, pueri [boy]       (this is also abnormal type 1 - don't drop anything; again, be careful that the nominative is the same as the vocative)

puer        pueri

pueri       puerorum

puero      pueris

puerum   pueros

puero      pueris

puer        pueri

 

Decline ager, agri [field]       (this is abnormal TYPE 2.  DROP THE "E" IN THE NOMINATIVE; again, be careful that the nominative is the same as the vocative)

ager         agri

agri          agrorum

agro         agris

agrum      agros

agro         agris

ager         agri

 

NOTICE THAT YOU DROP THE E!!!!!!!  USE "agr" as the stem on which you tack on the endings.  You can tell if a word is abnormal TYPE 2 by the genitive entry: it will be written like this

 

ager, agri

aper, apri

culter, cultri

 

Notice the "e" drops.

 

Abnormal TYPE 1 DOES NOT DROP THE "E."  Look at these examples:

adulter, adulteri

socer, soceri

vesper, vesperi

 

__________________________________________________________________

You can check your answers on page 4 here.  These are the ANSWERS only:

 

I love the queen.    The queens love you.     Amo medicos.     I love medics.

 

Amici necant me.    Tu amas reginam.         You (plural) love queens.

 

Girls love you.        Vos datis dona reginis.  

 

Queens love you.         Reginae necant medicos.

 

Reginae non monent medicos.       Medici monent reginas.

 

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are the last three answers on page 4:

 

Amat Mariae amicos Deus = God loves the friends of Mary.

"amicos" is sandwiched between "Mariae" and "Deus."  Friends of Mary are surrounded or embraced by Mary and God.

 

Ego Dei regnum amo = I love the kingdom of God.  (regnum, i (n) [kingdom])

"Ego" and "Dei" are put side by side: I and God are put close together which symbolizes my love and nearness to God.

 

Where is the beauty in the Latin language?  What can it do that English cannot?

Latin can put words in any order because it is a language that uses cases.  Thus, with Latin, we can paint pictures with word order.  English proceeds mostly from the left to the right.

5. In the phrase "pulcher Dei mater," why is the "Dei" where it is in the phrase?

 

Answer:

 

This phrase means "beautiful mother of God."  "Dei" is sandwiched in-between "pulcher" and "mater" to show that God was within Mary's womb.  The Latin language is using the word order to paint a picture of the mystery of the Incarnation (Jesus coming to be within Mary).
