Visual Latin | Sentences

Not pronouncing it right.

[luigicamp69]

It's interesting, even though somewhat obvious, but still fascinates me how I can understand every single sentence just because I am a native Italian speaker.

[MarcoEspanya]

Romanian language is the closest to latin than italian. The great roman families lived in DACIA city in romania. Read the history.

[MarcoEspanya]

Hi, thanks!! I live in spain and i travel in france and italy. Now it all make sense... So happy..

[rustyspanners]

In Latin, the verb "to be" (sum, esse, fui, futurus) most frequently falls between the subject and the predicate nominative (a noun or adjective that describes the subject) much in the same way as English word.

Attaching "-ne" to create questions is done on the first word in the sentence. Most often, but not exclusively, the first word will be a verb, even the verb "to be"

[sbela77]

This is useful, but verbs usually come at the end of the sentence.

[RuslanaTumanova]

and ... you are a great teacher, definitely!

[RuslanaTumanova]

you are so sexy ;) muahhh!

[wwbatstone]

A little misleading. est is an enclitic; therefore, it regularly follows the predicate. Your first sentence means "My friend is Marcus" not "Marcus is my friend." You are writing an English sentence with Latin words, not Latin. etc.

[heeyitslaurenn]

@wwbatstone Latin sentences can be written in any order. But usually the verb is at the end of the sentence.

[Carpatian1]

All sentences are almost the same in Romanian language:

1. Marcus este amicul meu.

2. Marcus este apostol.

3. Fluviul este lung, mare si umed.

4. Dumnezeu este bun.

[ZebraBlender]

vos iustus succurro mihi bulla pro meus probatur.

[TheJScottProductions]

Your a great teacher, thanks for that help!

[hansvonslither]

DEUS EST BONUS NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM

[danielguillermo1000]

thank u bro

salu2 desde colombia

[marcogreselin]

shouldn't all the verbs be at the end of each sentence?

[onelove4boxing]

I'm trying to say new beginning (or) chapter in life, not all of me will die (in Latin )...

( non omnis moriar, Caput novum ) is this correct? and do i put commas or period after each sentence?

[crestedcranetime]

clean your houses, eat proper food, have thousands years of civilization and then you teach us (italians) stuff

[purebloodfreedom1]

whats the passive paraphrastic

[abcmikke]

Wouldn't Julia be pronounced like yulia?

[Lungista]

Divide et impera!

By from Italy

[sn00piedog]

WOW im learning french and i see so much similarities

est,et,

fessus- Fatigue

sunt- sont and so much more wtf

[Liz94love]

@sn00piedog That's because French is sort of based on the Latin Language :)

[silanjian]

Thank You for the great tutorial.

[TruthThink1]

Superb video - will be subscribing!

Ex cultu robur!

[mphenee]

Why Marcus is said Markas instead of Markoos? And so on.

[crestedcranetime]

the italian "amico" is closer to amicus. Remember latin was the official language of ROME. you ignorant

[cilomanfreebsd]

@crestedcranetime

You Italians and your inferiority complex. That's why Mussolini couldn't even beat the poor Ethiopians. LOL

Spanish: Marcus es amigo mio.

Latin : Marcus est amicus meus

Italian: Marcus è mio amico

[crestedcranetime]

@cilomanfreebsd u dont know what you talking about amicus meus, that's why you graduate at 22

[cilomanfreebsd]

@crestedcranetime

By the way, contrary to what some of you Italians want to believe, Italians does not equal Latin. Italian is a Neo-Latin language. Just like French, Romanian, Catalan, Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, etc...

And Columbus wasn't Italian. Italy didn't even exist in during Columbus time. Fing grease ball.

[crestedcranetime]

@cilomanfreebsd you lost again the opportunity to look cultured and maybe intelligent. I feel so sorry for your deep ignorance

[rcfencer]

@crestedcranetime rome was the general name of the empire. they did also control modern-day spain after the punic wars, so the same latin language was spoken there too. you ignorant

[ChrisEld182]

This.... is... awesome. Makes it sounds muuuuch easier than the stuff I was reading.

[PianoFreak0127]

@Olivia1497, latin is not an exact language and can show up, pretty much, how it wants to because each word shows up telling you what role in the sentence it plays. For example, in some poetry you will read and come across an adjective that deals with a noun 5 or 6 sentences above the one you are reading

[PianoFreak0127]

@PianoFreak0127 I mean it is not exact in word order

[PianoFreak0127]

@HealeysFable Latin IS NOT a dead language. It may not live on the tongues of all, but it lives in our hearts and minds. A dead language would mean that there is no one that speaks it, and no literature written in it, for literature is the voice of the language.

[HealeysFable]

hahaha you're a really funny, but amazing teacher. I'm watching all these, the fact this is also conversational is so helpful, 19 and learning a dead language at home in my spare time is tough

[saalisiiii]

Wow, that's still really easy! But if you get, after 3-4 years of learning, to philosophy it is 10 times difficult than this. Try this: Casu in meridianum spectaculum incidi, lusus expectans et sales et aliquid laxamenti, quo hominum oculi ab humano cruore adquiescant.

[PentruRasaAlba]

Second row of sentences:

Marcus este obosit.

Marcus și Julia sunt obosiți

E Marcus obosit?

Sunt Marcus și Julia obosiţi?

Este obosit? Este obosită?

[PentruRasaAlba]

These same sentences in Romanian:

Marcus este prietenul meu

Marcus este apostolu

Fluviu este lung, mare, şi ud.

Dumnezeu este bun.

As a Romanian speaker I am now inspired to learn the ancient Latin language. Seems easy. ;)

[olivia1497]

Hi, Thank you verymuch was very helpful! But when putting an adjective in a sentence, it usually goes after the noun, like you havedone here, unless it is desribing the quanity or size. So would that mean longus and magnus would go before? That is how I am being taught at school? Thanks appreciate it very much :)

[Ataboe]

This is very good!

I want to learn a new language, and you're helping me a lot!

Not like those videos where they just show you only words and pronunciation, but you actually describe them!

[basenjiguitar]

i speak spanish, for us, this sentences are like speak spanish.

Marcus est amicus meus

Marcos es amigo mio 

[Ana1ExCavater]

what does bonus mean by itself?

[Kevinsufacation]

@Ana1ExCavater

good.

[bennemann]

@Ana1ExCavater As far as I know it means "good". In English a "bonus" is something extra, like an extra payment for something. It would assume it's called that because it's something good.

[EparkiatisFerraras9]

Salve! I'm Italian (and half Greek but mostly Italian and I've lived in Italy all my life so far). I've studied Latin for 6 years in Italy (last year of middle school and 5 years of high school) Anyway, what I wanted to tell/ask you was why did you write the sentences like that? I mean that i would rather write: Marcus amicus meus est. Marcus apostolus est. Fluvius longus, magnus umidusque est. Deus bonus est. and so on... Just letting you know what I think... but still, very good job!
