Lesson 1

Welcome to Audio Latin.  This course will provide you with lessons in classical Latin.  Listen to the following passage:

est puer.  quid nōmen eī est?  nōmen eī Marcus est.  etiam est puella.  nōmen eī Terentia est.

Terentia:  salvē, puer!

Marcus:  salvē et tū, puella!

Terentia:  ut valēs?

Marcus:  bene valeō.  et tū ut valēs?

Terentia:  nōn male.  quid nōmen tibi est?

Marcus:  nōmen mihi Marcus est.  et tibi quid nōmen est?

Terentia:  nōmen mihi Terentia est.  valē, Marce!

Marcus:  valē et tū, Terentia!

Here’s how you say, There is...                            est...

This can also mean ‘is,’ ‘he is,’ ‘she is,’ or ‘it is.’

Say, There is...                                                        est...

And here’s how you say,

There is a boy.                                                        est puer.

Say, There is a boy.                                                        est puer.

And here’s how you say,

There is a girl.                                                        est puella.

Say, There is a girl.                                                        est puella.

Here’s how you say, Also there is a girl.              etiam est puella.

Say, Also there is a girl.                                          etiam est puella.

There is a boy.                                                        est puer.

There is a girl.                                                        est puella.

Here’s how you say, He is a boy.                            is puer est.

Say, He is a boy.                                                        is puer est.

There is a boy.                                                        est puer.

He is a boy.                                                                      is puer est.

Latin does not have words corresponding to English ‘a’ or ‘the’.  Thus, ‘is puer ‘est’ can also mean He is the boy.  Say,

He is the boy.                                                        is puer est.

There is a girl.                                                        est puella.

Here’s how you say,

She is a girl.                                                                      ea puella est.

There is a girl.                                                        est puella.

Also there is a girl.                                                        etiam est puella.

There is a boy.                                                        est puer.

He is a boy.                                                                      is puer est.

Usually subject pronouns are omitted in Latin.  When they are included they indicate emphasis or contrast.  Now, leaving out ‘is,’ say,

He’s a boy.                                                                      puer est.

He is a boy.                                                                      is puer est.

For the sake of practicing the pronouns, however, you should include them unless otherwise prompted.

She is a girl.                                                                      ea puella est.

And here’s how you say, There are girls.              sunt puellae.

Say, There are girls.                                                        sunt puellae.

There is a girl.                                                        est puella.

Here’s how you say, We are boys.              nōs puerī sumus.

Say, We are boys.                                                        nōs puerī sumus.

We are boys.                                                                      nōs puerī sumus.

You are a girl.                                                        tū puella es.

Here’s how you say, You are girls.                            vōs puellae estis.

Say, You are girls.                                                        vōs puellae estis.

Notice that Latin makes a distinction between singular “you” and plural “you.”  Sometimes we will use the colloquial “y’all” to prompt the plural form.  Say,

Y’all are girls.                                                        vōs puellae estis.

You are a girl.                                                        tū puella es.

Say, They are boys.                                                        eī puerī sunt.

They are girls.                                                        eae puellae sunt.

Latin has three words corresponding to English “they.”  eī is masculine, eae feminine.  Say, They are boys.                                                        eī puerī sunt.

They are girls.                                                        eae puellae sunt.

It is a gift.                                                                      id dōnum est.

Here’s how you say, They are gifts.              ea dōnum sunt.

Say, They are gifts.                                                        ea dōna sunt.

dōna is neuter; so it takes the neuter form of “they” ea.  Note that ea can either mean “they [neuter]” or “she.”  You must rely on context to determine which it means.  Say,

She is a girl.                                                                      ea puella est.

They are gifts.                                                        ea dōna sunt.

His name is Marcus.                                          nōmen eī Marcus est.

They are boys.                                                        eī puerī sunt.

Here’s how you ask,

What are their names?                                          quae nōmina eīs sunt?

Literally you are saying “What names for them are?”

Ask, What are their names?                            quae nōmina eīs sunt?

What’s his name?                                                        quid nōmen eī est?
