Thank you SO much! Please keep going! This is how I'll pass my summer haha. I'm just kinda really confused at this part D; how do you know if a noun is masc/ fem/ neutral? And what do you mean by the "2nd principal part ends in -ae"? Isn't the second p. part just the infinitive form? :)

[latinguy2009]

@dishahimani03 Both nouns and verbs have P. Parts, for nouns, the second P. Part ends in -ae, -i, -is, -us, or -es

as you will learn, and thats how you identify it's declension

puella, puellAE - 1st declension

puer, puerI - 2nd declension

mater, matrIS - 3rd declension and so on.

as for gender-- there are some patterns, for example -- everything other than profession in the 1st declension is feminine. 2nd declension nouns are masculine unless 1st P. Part ends in -um, then it's neuter.

[latinguy2009]

@latinguy2009 but all in all, gender mainly has to be memorized; especially in the 3rd declension

arbor, arboris f. - tree

nomen, nominis n. - name

phoenix, phoenicis m. - phoenix

What is the point of declensions? What do they mean?

[awsmegiratina13]

what do you mean by P. Part? I'm taking notes on your videos, but I don't know what P. Part is...?

[AmeliaJane74]

Thank you for making these videos! :)

Great Latin videos! I think your definition for cases may be slightly confusing for people who do not know a language other than English. When learning German, I've always had cases taught as part of sentence structure rather than declension. (Then again, German is a language without multiple declensions, so my view on this may be somewhat skewed.)

@Frogz4196 And what about locative? I remember hearing about that when I was speaking with my school's Latin teacher?

[Frogz4196]

so what about the vocative case? :O

great video:D
