texasmama Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) I would have sworn on my favorite internal medicine text that my little kitteh had a foreign body. Even looked like it on a GI study. It wasn't-but boy was that intestine mad. However, fluids, antibiotics, antiemetics and pain management did resolve her problem in the end. That was quite the Thanksgiving week, though. This is what I'm hoping for. And she sleeps in the spartan kid's room.

ikslo Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Neuter rule states that the nominative and object case of a neuter noun always ends in a. #obligatorylatinpost #aintIclever #notreally There are two rules for Neuter nouns that everyone should know: 1. ALL neuter nouns match in ending for Nominative and Accusative cases always 2. The Nominative Plural ending is always -a I'm not sure what you said, Critterfixer, is wholly accurate in light of the above. However, I gleaned my information from the internet*, and we all know how that usually turns out. :) *Disclaimer: I took Greek, not Latin. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 In Latin, all nouns fit into tidy little suitcases called cases. If you want to use a noun as a subject, you have to use the nominative suitcase. If you want to use it as an direct object, you have to use the direct object suitcase. For a noun of neuter gender (because all nouns have gender, number, case and declension) the nominative and direct object case in the plural end in -a. It holds true across all the declensions as far as I know--which is kind of cool. #latinsnob #germannotsomuch #boutsofgobbledegookthatIcantdonothingabout 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 There are probably exceptions to the neuter rule. I just haven't found any yet. I'm only in Second Form Latin, you know. :tongue_smilie: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Not in the singular. On the singular side, the nominative and the accusative forms are the same. Same word. Same ending. But on the plural side, those same case forms end in a. Like so: Nominative bellum bella Genitive belli bellorum Dative bello bellis Accusative bellum bella Ablative bello bellis Singular Plural 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 You want to know something funny about Latin? If you like Tolkien at all, go read some of his poetry in "High Elvish".

JoJosMom Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I :001_wub: where I live. I think I mentioned that we met with our State Representatives when we were in the capital. (And they gave us a behind-the-scenes tour of the State Capitol.) Well, late this morning one of them emailed me to follow up on his offer to contact our U.S. Representative's office to try to arrange a tour when we are in D.C. Within a couple of hours of our email exchange I got a phone call from our U.S. Representative's Deputy Chief of Staff letting me know that I'll be contacted with information about a tour of the U.S. Capitol, hopefully followed by a sit-down visit with our Congressman. I'm so thrilled! :blushing: 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I don't get poetry often, but when I do, when it resonates....well, it just sort of hits me and sticks. When I was trying to come up with a name for the place where my main character lived for some of his young life, the name for that place came from a poem. Because it fit--it was a sort of a joke, and then it just really fit the character and what his life was like. I don't know if any of that will even get into the story. I hope it does, because it would be nice to give a nod to the poem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I read all the posts about neuter nouns etc. And I understand it. (I took both Latin and Greek.) But I'm too lazy to figure out what the implications are for curricula, curriculum. Instead, I think I'll just go back to singing my song: I love to go a hunting for my homeschool books and as I go, I love to sing and ignore the dirty looks. Curriculum, Curricula Curriculum Curricula-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha Curriculum Curricula My happy homeschool books (I'm a visual-spatial learner. Tell me the big picture (aka the answer) first and I'll figure out the silly details of how you got there from that. ) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
