September 22 and Sept. 26: you had Wednesday off this week: make sure you are caught up with your phrases of the day. Here there are in no particular order:
|
Welcome to the new school year 2015/2016
You are now in Latin II. You are now a citizen! In about four weeks, you will earn your new citizen name. You should be researching your family heritage to get yourself started on this naming process.
Phrases of the day so far:
Mens sana in corpore sano: A sound mind in a sound body
Doctus homo in se divitias semper habet: An educated person always has wealth in himself
Remember to keep up with these in your notebooks. There will be test every quarter on these phrases, their translations, and what they mean to you.
Grammar review so far: the cases: Nominative, genitive, dative, accusative and ablative. What do they mean? Can you spot them in a sentence?
Translation/mythology: the story of Minerva and Medusa
According to this story, what was Medusa's complaint?
How did Minerva respond to this complaint? This is NOT the most widely accepted version of this story. Remember you can do extra credit research on this. Find out more about why Medusa was changed from beautiful to ugly. Just how ugly was she when Minerva was through with her?
"tua facies in saxa viros mutabit."

Laetus Novus Annus! Happy New Year!
ab initio: from the beginning
We take this day to review Janus, the Roman two faced god of beginnings, transitions, and doorways for whom the January is named. Took time to think about our past year and the one coming up.
We are learning about the Roman calendar and how to do dates in Latin. We learned about the Kalends, the Nones and the Ides.
Kalends: the first day of every month NONES: the 5th day of all months except March, May, July, and October.
(for them it is the 7th)
Ides: the 13th day of all months except March, May July,October (for them, the 15th)
two important abbreviations: a.d. (ante dies. . .days before)
pr. (the day before)
main important rule: count BACKWARDS from the big three points on the calendar to get your date.
so: Halloween is pr. Kal. Nov.
American's independence Day: is a.d. IV NON. JUL.
my birthday, Feb. 12 is pr. Ides. Feb.

bellum non susceptum est: war was not taken up (by Aeneas willingly) He didn't really want to fight. He had had enough of fighting. (esse sub armis ad terminum vitae non cupivit)

Friday Nov. 1st and Monday Nov. 4
phrase of the day: radix malorum omnium est cupiditas / Greed is the root of all evil
continue translating the story of Aeneas ad infernos.
dicussion of Underworld, the Sybil, his encounter with queen Dido in the suicide fields, Tartarus, and how happy it would have been for Aeneas to discover his father in Elisum. The Latin says:
gratus filium Anchises accipit. (Grateful Anchises receives his son)
also: review of major nouns from 1st-3rd declensions: not any 4th or 5th in this story
silva, via, vita, nuntius, iniuria, pugna, consilium, ramum, periculum, auxilium, filius, regina, Romani, terra, locum,
concordia, populus, lacrima, verbum
Dido is not moved either by his tears or his words verbis aut lacrimis regina non movetur
(She gives him the cold shoulder treatment)
major verbs: superare, spectare, maturare, occupare, vocare, habitare, videre, movere, tenere, ducere, agere, regere, venire, abesse
producam: I will lead you forward (says the Sybil to Aeneas) te monstrabo: I will show you (says Anchises to Aeneas) superabunt: they will conquer
Aeneas learns of the mission of the Roman people: to rise above the wicked and to rule people fairly
wow! malos Romani superabunt et populum aeque reget
and then he has to go back to the 'upper world" guided by the Sybil. He cannot stay cum patre.
adjectives: malus, clarus, gratus, invitus,
adjectives: aeque, numquam ibi,
lots more: I hope you took good notes and listened well in class. And, of course, I hope you are really battling sloth every day in class: be attentive and do your work! :) You can only get better translating by translating and if you just sit there staring off into space, that is not helping you get better!

If all you really want to do is a standard compare/contrast ESSAY, that is fine! Yes, you can do this, and it is possible to get a decent grade on just a "boring essay". . . . but I would really love it if you came up with something more "entertaining" for the whole class.
The important things are a. do your research b. know your epic heroes when you speak in front of the class and then c. be able to state which of the two you like BEST and why!?? d. have something artistic, creative,or scholarly to highlight what you learned .

Wed. Oct. 2 B Day
phrase of the day: facilius per partes in cognitionem totius adducimur: we are led more easliy into understanding of the whole through parts.
learned about the 4th principle part of the verb being used as a passive adjective
and translated the rest of the paragraphs about Ulysses.
for example, the verb ago, agere, egi, actus: means to drive
so the last part of that verb translates: driven
or capio, capere,, cepi, captus: captus translates as captured
notice the passive sound: with an ed or having been ________ED.
These can then be used as adjectives
so you could have a puella capta (captured girl)
or a puer captus (captured boy)
or a frumentum captum (captured grain)
William Lowe got his Latin name today: Agitor: the driver
Della Huffines got hers: Calidissima: the hottest
We learned about Polyphemus, the cyclops and how Odysseus tricked him. How they found frumentum in his spelunca. Then put a stake in his oculo and he was blinded so badly.
Ulysses had said his name was "nemo" which means nobody. so, when all the other Cyclops came running to help him when he exclamavit and they said "Who hurt you" he answered: Nobody!
They then tied themselves under the sheep (sub ovibus) and were able to sneak out the spelunca without Polyphemus noticing.
ligo, ligare, ligavi, ligatus: to tie
so the 4th part: ligatus, a, um: tied
the men tied viri ligati
He saw the men tied viros ligatos
these participles (fancy name for adjective formed from a verb) can be used in any gender, number, and case from the 1st and 2nd declension charts)

Monday Sept. 30 B Day
phrase of the day: arma tuentur pacem: weapons maintain peace. ( I disagree, but I think it is a good quote to show the ancient Romans' philosophy)
new grammar focus: the passive voice.
What does that mean: A verb can be ACTIVE or PASSIVE.
Penelope is holding her baby. (Active) or The baby is being held by Penelope. (passive)
The Greeks attacked the Troy. (Active) Troy was attacked by the Greeks (passive)
Odysseus will build a horse. (active) A horse will be built by Odysseus.
The passive endings kind of compliment the active ones: if you learned the charts for the active voice, then follow the same rules and just change them to passive:
Present: r, ris, tur, mur, mini, ntur ( I am being _____ed, you are being ______ed, she is being ___ed)
Imperfect: bar, baris, batur, bamur, bamini, bantur (I was being __________ed, _
future: bo, beris, bitur, bimur, bimini, buntur
or
ar, eris, etur, emur, emini entur
Try these: vocatur, vocabatur, vocabitur she is called, she was called, she will be called
moveor, movebar, movebor: I am moved, I was moved, I will be moved
geruntur, gerebantur, gerentur: they are worn, they were being worn, the will be worn
audimur, audiebamur, audiemur: we are heard, we were heard, we will be heard

Monday Sept. 23 A day
phrase of the day: vestis virum facit: clothes make the man
new grammar: the PASSIVE VOICE
what is passive voice? the opposite of ACTIVE voice
ACTIVE means in the verb the person is ACTIVELY doing the verb:
I am teaching you about the passive voice. The verb I AM TEACHING is ACTIVE.
if I said: The students ARE BEING TAUGHT about the passive voice, then that verb is PASSIVE.
The new PASSIVE ending for you to learn are
r mur notice that they replace o, s, t, mus, tis, nt (ACTIVE endings)
ris mini
tur ntur
so amat: he loves but amatur: he is loved
movent: they move moventur: they are moved
regebamus: we were ruling regebamur: we were being ruled

I'm sorry I am just not getting going on this Latin II page! Welcome to Latin II! You are now a full fledged Roman citizen! Above you see samples of types of costumes you might wear to the annual Fall Ball in October.
today's phrase: doctus homo divitias multas in se semper habet: the educated man always has within himself many riches.
today's grammar review: the 3rd declension chart : using homo, hominis as the example.
remember how important it is to see the nominative and genitive of the noun and then to drop the is of the genitive to decline the rest of the word.
homo homines
hominis hominum
homini hominibus
hominem homines
homine hominibus
also reviewed basic usages for the5 case again: nominative: subject genitive: possesion dative: to whom? for whom? accusative: direct object or CAPPTIPPS ablative: SID SPACE
also, we played "Dea dicit" to review body parts and we got a whole list of body parts. We organized them by declension:
coma, gena mamma
tergum, oculus, digitus, umerus, nasus, uterus, bracchium
os, pectus, pes, frons, dens, abdomen, pollex, auris,
manus genu
facies
If you missed class today, make sure you get those definitions from someone and the genitive singular and gender for all the new words you don't know.
started going over the translation of "Dei" The gods didn't get very far.
will keep working on that next class.
