mea delicia means ”my delicious” actually

delicia would be used for delicious food or when someone looks super hot (they look delicious)

well, Felix probably meant it that way even if the ignorant author did not 🫣

The fact that I’m about to teach my cousin and closest friend basic Latin while also wanting to have a career in education is amazing. I’ll already setting up lessons on verbs and nouns.

Yes, me and @stormmoth learned some Latin in school. It makes no sense and I’m teaching it to people anyway. Lol.

I have watched, read, and loved The Eagle / The Eagle of the Ninth for YEARS, I have WRITTEN FANFICTION, and I only just found out today by accident doing research for something else that “Aquila” is literally Latin for eagle.

Latin Parents Declension

Third Declension (Nouns)

It is time to properly introduce the third declension! You already know quite a few words that follow the third declension. Masculine and feminine nouns follow the same pattern, while neuter nouns are declined differently.

A rule of thumb: accusative neuter words are always the same as their nominative equivalent.

Third Declension (Adjectives)

Many adjectives of the third declension end in -is. These adjectives will get (-is, -is, -e) as additional information in the vocabulary lists.

The paterfamilias was the head of a Roman household. This was usually the oldest man in the family. "Pater familias" literally means "father of the family".

Latin School Grammar

Accusative

On to the next case! The accusative is the grammatical case used for direct objects.

You can find the direct object of a sentence by asking the question "Who/What + does X + verb?", in which X is the subject.

Example:

The man has a rose. What does the man have? -> a rose

The author writes books. What does the author write? -> books

I love you. Who do I love? -> you

Adjectives

Just like nouns, adjectives follow declensions. The adjective solus (masc.), sola (fem.), solum (neut.) follow the first and second declension, and get the same endings as nouns: discipulus - femina - Eboracum.

Have a look at how the ending of the adjective changes:

Locative

The locative case is a special case which indicates a location used for cities.

Some general rules:

-a (first declension) becomes -ae

-us and -um (second declension) become -i
