Thank you for this Latin lesson over my morning coffee & croissant. I’m 73 and always finding it desirable to continue with my education.

I'm excited about this. Last studied latin 59 years ago.

Professor Dave on his polymath quest

Classical latin didn't have commas, but it did have a type of punctuation called an interpunct, which took the place of modern commas, periods, colons, and semicolons.

I’m pretty sure if the interpunct is used it’s used in place of modern day space, as in the character you type when you press the space bar A lot of Latin is written in no spaces, like this: ADFOROCANDIDOIREVELIM

I’m glad you’re doing Latin ❤

Salve magister, gratias tibi. (By the way a 'syntax' is what they charge on cigarettes and alcohol)

damn, dave... i'm a linguist who happens to just - a bit unexpectedly - love your biology videos, this is such a good surprise. and wow, nice classical pronunciation.

The best teacher, you are the best. I follow you from Syria ❤😊

Now explain the frequent hyperbaton in Latin sentences, some as extreme as the adjective in the beginning of the sentence with its noun at the end of the sentence?

Latin has so much common in grammar with Russian (my native language). I'm pleasantly surprised. Cases, noun genders, free order of words because of cases

Yes

I love your content, can you upload some more math videos? ❤ thank you for the great information.

Dave you're the best but no capitals in Latin except proper nouns :)

I took Latin a long time ago! I forgot most of it. The only thing I remember is a phrase we made up to be funny: “Invenei finem vitae” Literal: “find the end of life.” Figurative: “Drop dead!” 😂

in Slovak we use "it's after (insert person)" to mean they're dead/will be soon.

There is a lovely insult in Irish Gaelic, 'nar chasa tu!', which translates as 'may you not (live to) turn around'

For a moment I thought it said _world_ order. Still, great video!

repressed memories of learning Latin flooding back in

Why do you use "j" and "v" when writing Latin? Most publications I have seen use "i" for both "i" and "j" and "u" for both "u" and "v"; "juvenis" would be transcribed as "iuuenis".

The "j" and "v" are more traditional- the Oxford Latin Dictionary is the only one I know of (in English at least) which uses the i and u before another vowel. Actually the v was used all the time in inscriptions, while the j is a more recent development.

​@peterwyetzner5276 lowercase v no. V was uppercase u back then, as V and u were the same sound.

As an american born n raised who was also raised with portuguese speaking parents n family , friends , school n community , almost my entire city , I find LATIN the most important language to learn first if you want to learn , Romanian ( it also helps intro you to Slavic languages) , Italian, french, Spanish & Portuguese n I did take latin in HS but of course I n my friends thought it was an easy A n we knew it all n we did pass but we lost out on all the technical difference instead of just answering vocabulary words n translating English to Latin ( we would just use our Portuguese n pay a lil attention in class while trying to get better at drawing in 3 point perspective n this was in the early 1990s USA Massachusetts , I still don't know how ppl can say Americans can only speak one language when anyone can learn a second , third ...language n if you want to count the number of ppl that speak two or more languages than I'll bet it's a greater number than the countries of england, Scotland, Ireland combined but I guess Napoleon syndrome hits like a train to those lil countries n they need to feel better by making up some story that makes them sleep better at night , god save the queen n all that , cheerio pip pip the tube is running late is it now? Oh well then I'll have some tea for my nightly meal n me kid is doing alright I reckon , fish n chips governor ( you chav)

The pronunciation of 'Aere' in latin is exactly how in arabic we say 'dick' 😅 just to let you now Same thing as 'air' in english (the 2 pronunciations applies 😅)

Agnostic is close to impossible to explain to a believer but per Latin roots couldn’t be easier to grasp.

It's actually from Greek- gnostos from the verb γιγνωσκω, "know". Latin sometimes uses in- as a negation, as in infant, "doesn't speak", and inflammable, "doesn't burn".
