Latin in Layman’s - A Rhetoric Revolution

Latin in Layman’s gives you the ability to understand and command language in a whole new respect. Join a typical grammarian and classicist as I expand your vocabulary, understanding of grammar, Etymology, terminology (i.e. legal, medical, botanical, etc.), and so much more. I also utilize this platform to expand on greater thoughts of mine, as well as discussing the importance of language and the promotion of "The Language Revival" (as I like to call it...) Thank you for your interested in

There was an unexpected reward when the vaccine turned out to be polyvalent and worked against several diseases. POLY-. Is that a prefix?

Construct an etymological definition: “being strong (i.e. effective) in many (i.e. multiple) ways,” which implies a

Understanding the Third-io and Fourth Conjugations

Latin in Layman’s - A Rhetoric Revolution ·

2022/09/18

There are three important rules to remember: (1) the// thematic vowel in fourth conjugation is -i-; (2) the future tense sign in fourth conjugation is -e- and; (3) the third-io conjugation resembles fourth conjugation more than third.

Third declension is Latin’s “catch-all” category for nouns. Into it have been put all nouns whose bases end with consonants -- yep, any consonant! That makes third declension very different from first and second declension. First declension, as you’ll remember, is dominated by a-stem nouns like femina
