    Seeing the word "ablātus" gives a good idea why it's called the "ablative" case. Also, if you're "related" to someone, your DNA "refers" to theirs. I enjoy seeing small details like that when studying a language.

    Yes! I get into this in some upcoming videos on the ablative case. The original use of the ablative is separation (“from”), as you can see from the literal translation of ablātus, “taken away”.

    I must disagree with your explanation of why the present active infinitive of fero is ferre. I don't think it's the result of rhotacization, because the imperfect indicative active is regular: ferebam, ferebas, ferebat, etc. That suggests that the original present active infinitive was "ferere," not "ferse," which means that syncopation is the reason for the contracted infinitive. In other words, ferere > ferre.

    You're probably right, and my video was a little too general (read, inaccurate) in describing what was going on with the infinitive. There still has to be rhotacization going on initially with *fere-si/se > *ferere (rhotacization) > ferre (syncope). The *ferse form shouldn't rhotacize to ferre since the -s- isn't intervocalic.

    Salve :) in Italy we call the basic forms Paradigma, and in FERO case, the paradigma would be Fero Fers Tuli Latum Ferre. I wonder: do you, anglophones, have a different way of constructing the paradigma for Latin verbs or is Fero Ferre Tuli Latus a choice you, individually, made for this channel?

    Fero Ferre Tuli Latus is the way I was taught to list the paradigma (first-person Present Active Indicative, Present Infinitive, first-person Perfect Active Indicative and Perfect Passive Participle), and I think that's the way it's always been taught in the US at least.

    "Ferre," like many Latin verbs, never survived into the Romance languages. "Ferir" comes from an entirely different verb, "ferire" (dictionary form, "ferio"). Similarly, "puer" did not survive into the Romance languages. The word for "boy" in French ("garçon") doesn't come from "puer."
