We went over several important concepts in class today that we will be revisiting.
DEMONSTRATIVE ADJECTIVES AND PRONOUNS:
This, this one (singular)
masc. fem. neuter
nom. hic haec hoc
acc. hunc hanc hoc
That, that one (singular)
masc. fem. neuter
nom. ille illa illud
acc. illum illam illud
DOMUM:
This comes from a 4th declension noun: domus, domūs, f., townhouse. Just like Rōmam, which does not use a preposition when we say, "To Rome", domum does not use a preposition when we say, "going home".
COMPOUND VERBS:
The verbs at the bottom of page 183 are all compound verbs, that is, they are formed by adding a preposition to a common verb.
obsideō is from ob (because of, against) + sedeō, to sit.
cōnstituō is from con (with) + stō, stāre, to stand
trānseō is from trans (across) + eō, īre, to go
iniciō is from in (into) + iaciō, iacere, to throw
remittō is from re (back or again) + mittō, to send
Compound verbs will be addressed again soon!
We worked on a translation of "Mucius Gives a Lesson in Roman Virtue" (pp. 182-183) - we got up to line 17. We will continue translating on Thursday. We also practiced conjugating verbs in the present, imperfect and perfect tenses.
