Season 1
Episode 5
Published 4 years, 2 months ago
Description
Here, I get into the second declension neuter gender and the concept of substantive nouns. Why get into it? Because the more you know, the more you know! I get into a couple side tangents at both the beginning and end of this episode. Feel free to fast forward.
Ask yourself... Why are they called substantives? Might look like "substance?" I dunno though...
Here’s an example of a second-declension neuter noun: bellum, a word which means “war.” Let’s decline it together:
- Bellum
- Belli
- Bello
- Bellum
- Bello
- Bella
- Bellorum
- Bellis
- Bella
- Bellis
