ScorpioMartianus you truly are doing a god’s work! Which one I do not know yet... Iuppiter? Apollo? Thank you so much, the value of this channel is invaluable. I’m studying with the llpsi books and your readings and your lessons and I feel so motivated by you. You are an amazing person and I aspire to be as fluent as you are in many languages! 💪🏻
Sometimes I have a hard time following what you're saying, but then there's times when my limited knowledge of French and my natural capacity for languages flow together and I can completely understand a sentence. Simply breathtaking.
In the early 2000s, I had Latin in school. It was all just about grammar, vocabulary and translating. If I would have had the chance to watch videos like yours and expericence that Latin is still alive, because it's still spoken by people, my motivation to learn it would have been much higher. Your work is really great for today's generation of Latin students. Good job!
I've tried to learn Latin with a textbook and it was a complete madness trying to know by heart all declensions. I'm following your "per se illustrata" series and I'm loving it! The way to learn is very funny and intuitive. Thank you very much for the effort you've been made to provide such a good content! I'm already a fan :D
This was great, you pick up the meaning of the words and sentences alot quicker with this video rather than just the book. Can't wait for the videos to catch up with me so I don't have to waste time trying to figure out whats going on, although the book is great of course this just enhances it significantly!
Saudações do Brasil para você! Gostei muito do video, por volta de 70 anos atrás aqui no Brasil se aprendia latim, francês e português nas escolas brasileiras. Minha mãe teve aulas de latim na escola. Adorei conhecer seu canal .
It’s crazy how much i understood considering i've never studied latin. I turned the screen and just paid attention to the sounds... it all made so much sense! I knew that as native portuguese speaker i would get some of it, but i never expected that it wound feel so natural to listen and actually understand latin.
@@ScorpioMartianus You’re a fantastic teacher. I just started to binge-watch your videos and they make me feel like there’s a whole part of me i didn’t know. Sometimes we ignore or take for granted our cultural bagage, as if things that happened long ago didn't impact us today, but the truth is they're still here with us.
Salve amigo, falante do latim vulgar aqui (lol) thank you for dedicating your time creating this content for us, i've been learning latin for some months now and this surely will help me, subscribed, thank you, tamo junto.
Concerning the photograph of the Tiber (1:53), I'm impressed how the spot of Rome looks utterly bright and nonetheless, enchanted. No wonder that I seem to have unfolded a bustling activity, there, during incarnations as Cato Maior, Caesar, Titus, and Marcus Aurelius.
I speak Thai, a language that distinguishes between short and long vowels. And you did a really good job here. I personally would pronounce some of the long vowels a little shorter, but that’s a personal preference. 🙂
Hi Luke. Good job. I love this channel. I have a question. Do you know the days of the week in latin? And if you know them,can you write them in this comment? Thx in advance
Thanks! diēs Sōlis diēs Lūnae diēs Mārtis diēs Mercuriī diēs Jovis diēs Veneris diēs Sāturnī You may also invert the order. When using the days of the week, most of the time the word "diēs" will be in the ablative case to indicate time which something occurs, e.g. "diē Veneris haec pellicula dīvulgāta est."
As a portuguese speaker I found the video extremely comprehensible, many words are almost the same in my language. Even the verbs, I can easily pick the conjugation and understand which pronoun it's being used. What is really hard is the structure in which the phrases are formulated. In Latin it's common to put the verb at the end of the sentence, "I Phillip am"
Your channel inspiring, I almost cried in the Quirites video and saw how universal this knowledge should be. Ait Quirites linguam habet optimum enim aeque et eloquentiam et pulchritudo. Ego amare
With very limited funds and no access to a collage, I thought learning Latin would be impossible. Nope, with your help, I am doing something I have wanted to do for years, learn Latin. Thank so much. I will look to give to your Patron account.
definitely still rather confused, but finding this such an interesting way to learn language! perhaps... easier than the flash card version i am familiar with? disconnecting latin from any other language, even if to learn meaning, makes it so much simpler to recall words because it is reliant on the rest of latin and images, rather than trying to find translation.
Oh how lovely it would sound in Ecclesiastical Latin... with the V sound... the soft c sounds... The ae endings sounding together as one... the gn sound like the kids use at church... Thanks for your amazing work.
Thanks! Yes, as you know I support the usage of Ecclesiastical pronunciation for whoever enjoys it. However it’s unlikely you’ll see these videos in more than one pronunciation, because it takes enormous amounts of time to produce and edit them. I appreciate your watching them.

There is one thing I need to ask about the pronunciation of the ph in Latin. I understand that, in the past, you've said that a Latin speaking Roman would either pronounce it as an English p (as it would also be pronounced in Ancient Greek), or just as a Latin p. This makes complete sense, but I can't help but ask this question: why is it that the ph either is pronounced as an f, or has been replaced by the f in western European languages? One option I can think of is, maybe, later influence from speakers of a more recent variety of Greek, but, if so, when could that happen?
Ciao Alessandro! 😊 So, very very few words of Greek origin in Latin are preserved into Romance languages naturally through the state of "Vulgar Latin," as it's often called. Almost all of them are "coltismi" that were added into Italian, Spanish, etc. by educated people in the Middle Ages and Renaissance long after the Romance languages had evolved from Vulgar Latin, and thus words like Classical Latin 'philosophia' is never "learned" in the language of the less educated common people who originate Romance languages, thus 'philosophia' is returned into Mediaeval Latin by the litterate, and is pronounced as it is in Mediaeval Greek, with the 'f' sound (just as in Greece today), so Lat. philosophia > It. filosofia - a pronunciation influenced by the contemporary Greek. 'Zampogna,' however, is a word from Ancient Greek into Classical Latin into Vulgar Latin into Italian. συμφωνίᾱ > symphōnia (stress on the 'ō', showing us that Greek pitch accent was disregarded in Latin) > sumpōnja* > zampogna. Thus 'la zampogna' and 'la sinfonia' are two allotropes of the same word. en.wiktionary.org/wiki/zampogna#Italian σπάθη > σπάθᾱ > spatha > spada is another example of Greek aspiration having been completely disregarded by the Proto-Italian speakers. en.wiktionary.org/wiki/spada#Etymology_2 The letters χ φ θ become fricatives during the Roman Empire, so it is indeed possible for Vulgar Latin to have "modernized" the pronunciation of a few of the ch ph th that may have survived into Romance. An interesting example comes from Catalan, where some of them must have met with Greek speakers who used a dental fricative /θ/ for θ, because in Catalonia they say 'espasa': en.wiktionary.org/wiki/espasa#Etymology Isn't that cool? 😃 I love this stuff. A chronology of these changes can be found at my spreadsheets: bit.ly/RanieriGreekPronunciation bit.ly/RanieriLatinPronunciation EDIT: one more thing to add. A few years ago I made videos where I decried the pronunciation of PH etc. as anything other than /p/ or /pʰ/ as barbarous in Classical Latin. I stand by that recommendation as a good standard for Latin (unless one is using the Ecclesiastical Pronunciation, of course, which is fine!). Nevertheless, my research more recently (as you have seen in those spreadsheets above, and also explained here [Lucian Pronunciation of Ancient Greek] th-cam.com/video/Dt9z5Gvp3MM/w-d-xo.html ) has helped me to realize that Ancient Greek takes on the fricative pronunciation of φ even in Latin words by the late 1st century AD, and with increasing frequently in the 2nd century AD. Inscriptions like 'foinix' = phoenix and recommendations by grammarians (Flavius Caper namely) who say 'anfora' is the correct spelling and not 'ampora' (which was common and quite correct in the 1cBC for sure!) show that spoken and written Latin was staying in tune with the normal pronuncation of contemporary Greek. So while I still choose /delpiː/ or /delpʰiː/ in my standard Classical Latin pronunciation, I could hardly begrudge a person's usage of /delfiː/ in their Classical Latin pronunciation, since such a sound certainly existed in the later part of Classical Latin literature (1cAD-2cAD). In all, these these are just conventions. One should use the convention that most aids one's learning. I have the pleasure of teaching some members of the clergy Latin, and with them I use Ecclesiastical Pronunciation since it makes their learning process easier. I can prescribe certain things that apply to all forms of Latin, like good vowel quality (Italian/Spanish vowels and not English or German ones) and phonemic vowel length. Other than that, vīvant discantque!
@@ScorpioMartianus Ah, very interesting, so my assumption was right, makes sense. The fact that zampogna comes from συμφωνία blew my mind, I had no idea
@@thebenis3157 The same word is found in Aramaic in the book of Daniel as סומפניא, and is translated zampoña in the Reina-Valera. Another phonetic change in Greek is /u/->/y/->/i/. Aramaic has no /y/ sound, and all the Greek words in Daniel and most of them in the Peshitta NT have ו where Greek has υ. There is one exception that I know of: κινδυνος->קנדינוס (danger). This word has י where Greek has υ, indicating that the /y/ at the time was closer to /i/ than to /u/, at least to Aramaic ears.
I never learned Latin but I understand so much, it‘s incredible! Do you know Romansh/ Rumantsch? I have always heard it was close to Latin but since I don‘t really know a lot about Latin, I can‘t really tell 😄
Absolutely amazing! I “learned” Latin via the “Dead Language” method, i.e. grammar translation, a very expensive way not to become fluent in Latin. I have since done an MA in Applied Linguistics and now know that what you’re doing is a million times more effective! I should say that I like the way you’re treating elision here, compared to in the early videos for Lingua Latina. Feels a bit more natural, whatever that means! Probably just a matter of taste. Anyway, keep up the superb work you’re doing! And I’m sorry I’m not writing this in Latin. I wonder if I can get a refund for my tuition? :)
That pronunciation is common in ecclesiastical, popular from Middle Ages and today in the Catholic Church. Classical Latin pronunciation is as presented in the video
OK, Scorp- real talk. As someone with dyslexia in English, I have great trouble with grammar (learn, forget, muddle the rules). So how does one learn a grammatical language like Latin with a learning disability?
Binks Webelf that’s a really good question! I hope someone here will be able to guide you in the right direction. My completely uneducated opinion would be to use auditory input extensively, such as in this course, and to avoid or ignore written input. Just allow the nature of the sounds and images to teach you. I hope you can find the progress you desire. And then don’t worry about trying to read at all or any grammar that is written.
Basic conservational Latin is very similar to Spanish with an ancient twist to it. It is also very understandable -- when Latin gets more complex and descriptive it is when Latin becomes a challenge for Spanish speakers to understand.
also the sentence structure, especially Caesar's, is the same as Yoda's 😁 now when you go back and listen to Yoda speak either in Spanish or English you won't be able to stop thinking about this 😂
@@ScorpioMartianus si vede che hai lavorato sodo per arrivare fino a questo punto. Vedrai che i tuoi sforzi daranno i loro frutti e questi stessi frutti decoreranno la tua armatura muscolata.
Ti apprezzo e seguo molto! Ma in parecchi video ho visto che utilizzi la didattica delle ingue skinneriana, parcellizzare la lingua i migliaia di informazioni purtroppo plagianti: di Skinner si diche che quando hai imparata la millesima informazione dell'inglese dimentichi le prime cinquecento! IL testo deve colpire profandamente il discente-narratario (lettore, diciamo così) solo così potrà ricordare il 90 per cento! ed interagire. Suerte.
Can someone help me understand the meaning of *oppidum* - preferably without translating, as is the aim for the series? For some reason, I'm having trouble. I understood up to "Estne Melita īnsula magna? Melita īnsula parva est" at 3:49, and then I understood about everything after about 5:00. Side note, whoever made the Compose key on Linux systems so easy to use (for easily inputting those macrons, among many other things) is a godsend.

Ego quoque aliquas operas latine expressas egi: decem sunt et in canalis mei playlista cui nomen est "experimenta" omnes invenire potes. De his operis sententiam tuam sciendi felix sum. Gratias quam plurimas tibi ago. Vale!

Salvē, cāre Paule! Bellē scrībis Latīnē! Secundum mē, licet ūtī ēnūntiātiōne Ecclēsiāsticā/Italicā! Ecce haec pellicula mea: th-cam.com/video/XeqTuPZv9as/w-d-xo.html
Getting the -ne enclitic early on, and then right into deponents? I’m impressed.
Heh thanks! Yeah, it helps because the teacher in the classroom can use these phrases on day 1.
There is one thing I need to ask about the pronunciation of the ph in Latin. I understand that, in the past, you've said that a Latin speaking Roman would either pronounce it as an English p (as it would also be pronounced in Ancient Greek), or just as a Latin p. This makes complete sense, but I can't help but ask this question: why is it that the ph either is pronounced as an f, or has been replaced by the f in western European languages? One option I can think of is, maybe, later influence from speakers of a more recent variety of Greek, but, if so, when could that happen?
Ciao Alessandro! 😊 So, very very few words of Greek origin in Latin are preserved into Romance languages naturally through the state of "Vulgar Latin," as it's often called. Almost all of them are "coltismi" that were added into Italian, Spanish, etc. by educated people in the Middle Ages and Renaissance long after the Romance languages had evolved from Vulgar Latin, and thus words like Classical Latin 'philosophia' is never "learned" in the language of the less educated common people who originate Romance languages, thus 'philosophia' is returned into Mediaeval Latin by the litterate, and is pronounced as it is in Mediaeval Greek, with the 'f' sound (just as in Greece today), so Lat. philosophia > It. filosofia - a pronunciation influenced by the contemporary Greek.
'Zampogna,' however, is a word from Ancient Greek into Classical Latin into Vulgar Latin into Italian. συμφωνίᾱ > symphōnia (stress on the 'ō', showing us that Greek pitch accent was disregarded in Latin) > sumpōnja* > zampogna. Thus 'la zampogna' and 'la sinfonia' are two allotropes of the same word.
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/zampogna#Italian
σπάθη > σπάθᾱ > spatha > spada is another example of Greek aspiration having been completely disregarded by the Proto-Italian speakers.
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/spada#Etymology_2
The letters χ φ θ become fricatives during the Roman Empire, so it is indeed possible for Vulgar Latin to have "modernized" the pronunciation of a few of the ch ph th that may have survived into Romance. An interesting example comes from Catalan, where some of them must have met with Greek speakers who used a dental fricative /θ/ for θ, because in Catalonia they say 'espasa':
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/espasa#Etymology
Isn't that cool? 😃 I love this stuff.
A chronology of these changes can be found at my spreadsheets:
bit.ly/RanieriGreekPronunciation
bit.ly/RanieriLatinPronunciation
EDIT: one more thing to add. A few years ago I made videos where I decried the pronunciation of PH etc. as anything other than /p/ or /pʰ/ as barbarous in Classical Latin. I stand by that recommendation as a good standard for Latin (unless one is using the Ecclesiastical Pronunciation, of course, which is fine!).
Nevertheless, my research more recently (as you have seen in those spreadsheets above, and also explained here [Lucian Pronunciation of Ancient Greek] th-cam.com/video/Dt9z5Gvp3MM/w-d-xo.html ) has helped me to realize that Ancient Greek takes on the fricative pronunciation of φ even in Latin words by the late 1st century AD, and with increasing frequently in the 2nd century AD. Inscriptions like 'foinix' = phoenix and recommendations by grammarians (Flavius Caper namely) who say 'anfora' is the correct spelling and not 'ampora' (which was common and quite correct in the 1cBC for sure!) show that spoken and written Latin was staying in tune with the normal pronuncation of contemporary Greek.
So while I still choose /delpiː/ or /delpʰiː/ in my standard Classical Latin pronunciation, I could hardly begrudge a person's usage of /delfiː/ in their Classical Latin pronunciation, since such a sound certainly existed in the later part of Classical Latin literature (1cAD-2cAD). In all, these these are just conventions. One should use the convention that most aids one's learning. I have the pleasure of teaching some members of the clergy Latin, and with them I use Ecclesiastical Pronunciation since it makes their learning process easier.
I can prescribe certain things that apply to all forms of Latin, like good vowel quality (Italian/Spanish vowels and not English or German ones) and phonemic vowel length. Other than that, vīvant discantque!
@@ScorpioMartianus Ah, very interesting, so my assumption was right, makes sense. The fact that zampogna comes from συμφωνία blew my mind, I had no idea
@@thebenis3157 The same word is found in Aramaic in the book of Daniel as סומפניא, and is translated zampoña in the Reina-Valera.
Another phonetic change in Greek is /u/->/y/->/i/. Aramaic has no /y/ sound, and all the Greek words in Daniel and most of them in the Peshitta NT have ו where Greek has υ. There is one exception that I know of: κινδυνος->קנדינוס (danger). This word has י where Greek has υ, indicating that the /y/ at the time was closer to /i/ than to /u/, at least to Aramaic ears.
I never learned Latin but I understand so much, it‘s incredible! Do you know Romansh/ Rumantsch? I have always heard it was close to Latin but since I don‘t really know a lot about Latin, I can‘t really tell 😄
I think that is a myth based on the name Rumantsch haha. It is a fairly divergent romance language, but it is beautiful nonetheless :-)
Very cool!
Thank you!
Damn this is amazing!
Thanks!
the long ā vowels at the end of italiā reminds me of the finnish partitive case
Absolutely amazing! I “learned” Latin via the “Dead Language” method, i.e. grammar translation, a very expensive way not to become fluent in Latin. I have since done an MA in Applied Linguistics and now know that what you’re doing is a million times more effective! I should say that I like the way you’re treating elision here, compared to in the early videos for Lingua Latina. Feels a bit more natural, whatever that means! Probably just a matter of taste. Anyway, keep up the superb work you’re doing! And I’m sorry I’m not writing this in Latin. I wonder if I can get a refund for my tuition? :)
I'm so grateful for your compliments, cāre David! I hope the rest of the series will be equally pleasing.
I tuoi video sono uno meglio dell'altro!!!
Come si dice italo-egiziano in latino ?
Cesarion.
@@oscarberolla9910 haha
Grazie Karim! 😊 Italo-Aegyptius. Anche si può dire Italo-Aegyptiacus. Esne tū Italō-Aegyptius, Karim?
@@ScorpioMartianusItalo-Aegyptius sum! Ho risposto bene? Comunque grazie!
Great lesson! I have a question: I once read that -ae termination was pronounced like -e. Could it also be pronounced this way? Gratias!
That pronunciation is common in ecclesiastical, popular from Middle Ages and today in the Catholic Church. Classical Latin pronunciation is as presented in the video
@@orjhyu3v2ehv3h ohh, that makes sense! Grātiās tibi agō!
OK, Scorp- real talk. As someone with dyslexia in English, I have great trouble with grammar (learn, forget, muddle the rules). So how does one learn a grammatical language like Latin with a learning disability?
Binks Webelf that’s a really good question! I hope someone here will be able to guide you in the right direction.
My completely uneducated opinion would be to use auditory input extensively, such as in this course, and to avoid or ignore written input. Just allow the nature of the sounds and images to teach you. I hope you can find the progress you desire.
And then don’t worry about trying to read at all or any grammar that is written.
Optime Lucius!
Grātiās! 😊
Basic conservational Latin is very similar to Spanish with an ancient twist to it. It is also very understandable -- when Latin gets more complex and descriptive it is when Latin becomes a challenge for Spanish speakers to understand.
also the sentence structure, especially Caesar's, is the same as Yoda's 😁
now when you go back and listen to Yoda speak either in Spanish or English you won't be able to stop thinking about this 😂
I would love to see a collab with @Metatron ... maybe even an historical reenactment. 😍
Me tooo!! I want lōrīca segmentāta armor like his.
@@ScorpioMartianus 😂 Penso che per te sia meglio un'armatura muscolata.
Clarus Stük se non costa troppo! Certo
@@ScorpioMartianus si vede che hai lavorato sodo per arrivare fino a questo punto. Vedrai che i tuoi sforzi daranno i loro frutti e questi stessi frutti decoreranno la tua armatura muscolata.
Clarus Stük ahah grazie!
Ti apprezzo e seguo molto! Ma in parecchi video ho visto che utilizzi la didattica delle ingue skinneriana, parcellizzare la lingua i migliaia di informazioni purtroppo plagianti: di Skinner si diche che quando hai imparata la millesima informazione dell'inglese dimentichi le prime cinquecento! IL testo deve colpire profandamente il discente-narratario (lettore, diciamo così) solo così potrà ricordare il 90 per cento! ed interagire. Suerte.
Can someone help me understand the meaning of *oppidum* - preferably without translating, as is the aim for the series? For some reason, I'm having trouble. I understood up to "Estne Melita īnsula magna? Melita īnsula parva est" at 3:49, and then I understood about everything after about 5:00.
Side note, whoever made the Compose key on Linux systems so easy to use (for easily inputting those macrons, among many other things) is a godsend.
Hi Andrew! Let me ask you this:
Rome, New York, Berlin, and Tokyo are all oppida.
Is the meaning clear now? 😊
@@ScorpioMartianus Now it is! Thanks for the quick response! Really loving your videos as a new student of Latin!
Thanks so much! Many more to come.
