Greetings to all Latin D members,
I am currently going through the book Lingua Latina: Familia Romana and I was wondering if all masculine words end in -us all feminine words ended in -a and all neuter words ended in -um. Am I correct in thinking that?,
Thank you,
J.M
and another one that I can't think of right now.
Greetings once more,
Does the word dominus literally mean 'dominant'? (With that I mean he has control over/he is superior to..) It appears in the phrase:
- Iūlius dominus servī (Dāvī) est. -
"Iūlius is the master/owner/dominant(of David)" - Is this a correct translation?
Thank you,
J.M
In this case:
Servī - Genitive Singular
Servōrum - Genitive Plural
Correct?
J.M
Great!Well, I wouldn't translate it as dominant ... it just means 'master' or 'head of family'
Yes.
