Latin Nouns: First Declension

We've already introduced nouns in Latin, but now it's time to start learning the associated grammar. Latin nouns fall into five groups called declensions, depending on their endings. We need to see how these words change depending on the number and case. Let's start simply with the first declension and see how this works!

    Hey Prof Dave, Have you ever considered a series about where we got the Bible? Who wrote it, when, why, who the audience was for each book, etc? Useful Charts did a really good series on the topic but I'd love to see you present the scholarly academic consensus on this question , if such a topic is something you'd like to explore. I think the first step to setting aside dogmas is to demystify the Bible and remind folks it's just a collection of texts written at different times for different reasons. It's not some magic book gifted from the heavens. Learning where it actually came from can help put the mystery to bed. Either way, thanks for your work. Take care!

    The Bible is 1,000% percent accurate and real. It’s absolute truth. May God reveal that to you.

    Thank you Dave for these videos, they encourage me to study Latin ... My native language is Tamazight (aka Berber), we have some words I think are borrowed from Latin : Afullus (Pullus), Asnus (Asinus), Tifirst (t - t is for the feminine form, the root is - Firs - , which is like Pirus ).

    4:30. It is easier to remember that in all declensions, thus in the A declension (1st declension) too, physical (sex) and grammatical gender coincide in every noun denoting persons, deities, jobs, professions, kinship etc. Thus, professions and offices typically performed back then by men, blood relations concerning men etc. are denoted by masculine nouns (A declension: nauta, poeta, agricola, athleta etc. O declension: legatus; 3rd declension: pater, socer, miles, eques, orator, centurion, augur, imperator etc.); most such nouns of the A declension in -ta are of Greek origin (ποιητής, ναύτης, ἀθλητής etc.). The same rule for gender holds true also for proper names of men: Catilina, Scaevola, Sulla, Murena, Maecena, Agrippa etc ; Cicero, Scipio Hannibal etc.; of deities and heroes: Ju(p)piter, Hercules, Diomedes etc ), which are of course masculine in grammatical gender. But Minerva, Porcia, Iulia, Marcella, Tertia, Musa, Nymphe, Andromeda or Andromede, Minerva, Diana, Iuno, mater, filia, anus, soror, uxor etc. are obviously feminine. This rule regarding the relation or sex to grammatical gender, among others like names of fruits, trees and plants, rivers etc. must be memorised early on.

    The diphthong "ae" must not be pronounced as it is written, but as [ai], ie. like in "bye bye" or in "eye" and "try".

    Apparently that's not the case, or is a later more colloquial pronunciation or something.

    The vocative in English is normally spelled just O, not Oh, cf. "O Canada. "
