[Dynose]

i dont understand the difference between the 2nd and 3rd conjugation :( please help!

[latinguy2009]

@Dynose Relax-- there are at least 4-5 more lessons, including a practice where I show you by hand, these concepts. If you don't get it right away-- don't worry! You will. The second and third conjugation has a vowel change, that affects conjugation.

-eo, -ere = long e sound (-ere) = 2nd conjugation. if the 1st P. Part is -eo; it's 2nd conjugation no matter what. (sedEO, sedERE, Sedi..)

-ere = short e sound (-ere) = 3rd conjugation; not -eo in the 1st P. Part? 3rd. (currO, currERE, cucurri..)

[latinguy2009]

@Dynose (sedEO, sedERE, sedi..) = [sed-ay-oh, sehd-ay-reh...]

(currO, currERE, cucurri..) = [curro, curr-eh-reh,...]

[AmateurPolymath]

At 5:33 are those 4 words under the conjugations the principal parts?

Sorry complete newbie here.

[latinguy2009]

@AmateurPolymath Yes-- they are.

Remember, principal parts of verbs need to be learned, you'll need to know ALL PARTS in order to conjugate in all tenses.

[Tindanin]

Dare: do, das, dat, damus, datis, dant or I am mistaking? XD I don't really get the dedi datus...

[latinguy2009]

@Tindanin Principal Parts are used to show all necessary changes to a verb in various tenses...

do, dare, dedi, datus

dedi = perfect stem

datus = perfect passive stem

These forms are used for form OTHER cases, outside the present, imperfect, or future.

Hope this helps!

[jdude61]

im so confused do the endings on the words mean plural or do they all mean the same thing

?

[MrKong24]

I got the difference between he 2nd and 3rd :D

[Demokingmsb]

Might I suggest using macrons to designate long vowels, such as in vidēre. There use might help prevent undue confusion in the destinction between the 2nd and 3rd conjugations. It will also help when you get to such words as liber and līber.

i have to study english and latin too, so this is 4me the listening of english and grammatic of latin... :-)

[enle2002]

With all respect, the problem with English native speakers teaching Latin is that they can't get rid of their strong English accent, and they don't seem to be trying to make the least effort to solve this. The best pronunciation of Latin I've ever heard is that of people who have Italian or Spanish as their native language.

Please don't get me wrong, I think these lessons are a fantastic job, this is just a remark about a general problem that I wanted to state.

Greetings

Why does it matter to know what conjugations they are from? I'm sorry, I've been learning from this Latin book and I'm just starting to learn from your lessons so I'm a bit confused...

[OblivionDarkelf]

@fyansiel in latin the v is pronounced as a w in some cases, but in say "Vidi" (I saw) its pronounced (veh-dee)

[NoFaithNoPain]

I am finding it dificult to understand why you group present / infinitive / past / present participle (or gerund???) and why second and third have different translations than first and fourth. IS it just because they follow a similar pattern rather than their meanings?

[fyansiel]

Your pronunciation is a bit wrong....specially when r's are involved...

it's videre (vi-deh-re)

not vi-day-re

>.> also i believe v is pronounced just as it is in spanish... V not W...

i'm no expert though....

[magnvss]

Good, very well undertaken. The English leaning pronunciation hurts romance language speaker’s ears though. But nothing overly wrong with it.
