Latin’s a dead language.It’s very plain to see.First it killed the Romans,And now it’s killing me!
![Page 3: Latin I Lesson 01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55d50a65bb61eb9d708b45a5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
WHY TAKE LATIN?• It makes learning other languages easier• Knowing Latin word roots will improve your
English vocabulary (and SAT scores)• It improves your logic/problem-solving skills• You don’t have to speak it well – it’s all on
paper• You want to be a lawyer/doctor • You can tell your sister to get a life (“Fac ut
vivas!”) and she won’t be able to tell your mom what you just said
• It’s cool!

WHERE DID LATIN COME FROM?
• To sound impressive/snooty: A descendant of the Ancient Proto-Indo-European language.
• Or, to sound normal: It evolved from the languages spoken by the tribes that lived in Latium, an area in western central Italy.
![Page 9: Latin I Lesson 01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55d50a65bb61eb9d708b45a5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
WHERE DID LATIN GO?
• Ummm…it died.– Medieval Latin is still used by the Catholic church.
• BUT…it still has lots of kids. There are 20+ Romance languages. The big 6 are: Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Romanian, Catalan.
• Wait! What happened to English? Why am I taking this class if English didn’t come from Latin?– English is a Germanic language, which is sort of a
cousin Latin. English and Latin are still very heavily connected.
![Page 10: Latin I Lesson 01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55d50a65bb61eb9d708b45a5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
IS LATIN HARD?• No! The hardest parts are:– Understanding the concepts of declining nouns
and conjugating verbs.– Memorizing, memorizing, memorizing…
• Some Latin is ridiculously easy. Can you guess what these words mean?– Dictator– Gloria– Rosa– Elephantus– Intelligentia
![Page 11: Latin I Lesson 01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55d50a65bb61eb9d708b45a5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
THE LATIN LANGUAGE
Latin uses (basically) the same alphabet as we do.
Latin has the same parts of speech as English.
Noun VerbAdjective AdverbPronoun PrepositionConjunction Interjection
Latin is an inflected language – which means word order is not as important as the form of the words.
![Page 12: Latin I Lesson 01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55d50a65bb61eb9d708b45a5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
WORD ORDERAlways two there are
Much to learn you still

Save them we must.
Hard to see¸ the dark side

When 900 years old you reach¸ look as good you

In English word order matters – with a few special exceptions:• Poetry• 900 year old Jedi

LATIN ALPHABET
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
i
repres
ents
both i
and j
y and z occur
only in words
borrowed from Greek
As the i represented both the vowel i and the consonant j, the v represented both the vowel u
and the consonant v; but for some reason it’s more
acceptable to use u and v so we’ll make it easy and let you
have both.
![Page 17: Latin I Lesson 01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55d50a65bb61eb9d708b45a5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

NOUNSIn Latin, the form of the noun changes
to indicate:• Number – singular or plural (like
adding –s or –es in English, but a little more complicated)
• Case – function in the sentence. This is rare in English, except with personal pronouns:
Subjective
I you he she they
Objective
me you him her them
Possessive
my your his her their
![Page 30: Latin I Lesson 01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55d50a65bb61eb9d708b45a5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
NOUNSEvery Latin noun is one of 3 genders:• Masculine• Feminine• NeuterDifferent genders follow different
patterns of word endings to indicate case and number.
![Page 31: Latin I Lesson 01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55d50a65bb61eb9d708b45a5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
NOUNSEvery Latin noun is in one of five
declensions. A declension is like a word family. The nouns in a declension follow the same pattern of word endings to indicate case and number.
Consider English – some words need +s to form the plural and others need +es. There are rules to govern which words need which endings.
![Page 32: Latin I Lesson 01](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052603/55d50a65bb61eb9d708b45a5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
NOUNSFor vocabulary you must memorize the nominative singular, genitive singular, gender, and meaning.puella, puellae, F, girlFirst declension nouns end in –a for nominative singular and –ae for genitive singular. 95% of first declension nouns are feminine.

– Active: Subject performs the verb action. (The girl kicks the ball.)– Passive: Subject receives the verb action. (The ball is kicked by the
girl.)

VERBSFor vocabulary you must memorize the four principal parts and the meaning.First conjugation nouns end in –o for the first principal part and –are for the second principal part.Most first conjugation verbs are regular, so you only need to memorize the first two principal parts if the last two follow the pattern.
