Latin nouns have various endings.  The endings are determined by what DECLENSION (noun family) they belong to. There are five declensions.   The endings signal the role of the noun in a sentence: subject, possessive, indirect object, direct object and object of a preposition.  These roles and their forms are called CASES. There are other roles too, but you don't need to worry about those yet.    The dictionary form of a noun appears with the nominative, the genitive and the gender (masculine, feminine, neuter) of the noun.  E.g. puella, puellae, f.

Latin Insults It is a well-known fact that everyone sounds smarter in Latin.  Even your insults will carry greater weight if you say them in Latin.  Simply pick one adjective from column A, one from B, and add to noun of your choice in Column C. Insults may be phrased as Tu es… (You are)                                             Tua mater est  (Your mother is...) Note: : Latin adjectives take the same gender as the noun they describe.  If someone is a big pig, then that person is a magnus porcus but if they are a big beast then they are a magna bestia but if they are a big turnip, then use magnum rapum.  Some animal words can be either masculine or feminine.  In that case, use the gender of the person being insulted to determine th...

Salvete, discipuli! It looks like there is more than half a chance that I will be back at school next week. I am hoping for Tuesday.  Have to see what the doctor says.  I hope so. Just in case this is the last time you see Mr. Baldwin for a while, please (quaeso) say a loud AGO GRATIAM (thank you) to him. Before you leave hand in your notebooks to Mr. Baldwin so I can look over them this weekend. Mr. Baldwin should have the text of "Marcus to the Rescue" (Chapter 5). I'd like you to glue this into your composition books and translate lines 8-13 (stopping at adveniunt ). If this cannot be found, then review with Quizlet all vocabulary sets we have had so far so no words fall out of your memories. Use the games, make cards, make foldables...whatever it takes, learn vocabulary! Hoping to see you soon, Magistra Gill

WARM-UP COPY THE VERY FAMOUS FIRST WORDS OF GREATEST LATIN EPIC, THE AENEID.  THEN COPY THE NAMES OF KEY FIGURES IN THE EPIC AND THE MYTH OF THE FOUNDATION OF ROME BELOW IT.  DON’T WORRY ABOUT IDENTIFYING THESE FIGURES NOW. YOU WILL DO THAT AFTER YOU TAKE THE VOCABULARY QUIZ. Of war and a man I sing, who first from Troy’s shores, an exile by the decree of fate, came to Italy and Lavinium’s shores. Much was he tossed on the sea and land by the violence of the gods, because of cruel Juno’s unforgetting anger. Much, too, did he endure in war as he sought to found a city and bring his gods to Latium. From him are descended the Latin people, the elders of Alba, and the walls of lofty Rome.    -- Vergil, opening lines of the Aeneid. Write in your composition book the following terms, leaving at a space of one line between each name.  Take great care to spell each name correctly Aeneas= mother of Aeneas = father of Aeneas = Ascanius (p. 31...
