A few are transitive. Listen carefully to the fourth principal part to determine whether the verb is more likely to be intransitive (<span style="font-style:italic;">vent-um</span>) or transitive (<span style="font-style:italic;">invent-us</span>).M Fletcherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01693954362025174971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312858077676500079.post-38052426627283720332008-05-15T00:26:00.007-04:002008-05-15T11:59:47.319-04:00Verbs of the 4th Conjugation (-SI)<embed src="http://www.blogcastone.net/audio/player.swf?soundFile=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.libsyn.com%2Flatinandgreek%2FFourth_Conjugation_-SI.mp3%3Fnvb%3D20080515042230%26nva%3D20080516042230%26t%3D0950203023a287800a7d0&playerID=10&bg=0xf8f8f8&leftbg=0xeeeeee&lefticon=0x666666&rightbg=0xcccccc&rightbghover=0x999999&righticon=0x666666&righticonhover=0xffffff&text=0x666666&slider=0x666666&track=0xFFFFFF&border=0x666666&loader=0x9FFFB8&loop=no&autostart=no" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="40" width="290"></embed><br />These verbs belong to the 4th Conjugation: <span style="font-style:italic;">sentio, sentire, sensi, sensus</span>. Note that the PERFECT ends in -SI. You may wonder why the verb <span style="font-style:italic;">amicio, amicire, amixi, amictus</span>, "to envolop, to wrap up, to clothe," has been revisited. The reason is that the PERFECT of <span style="font-style:italic;">amicio</span> can be either <span style="font-style:italic;">amicui</span> as in the last episode or <span style="font-style:italic;">amixi</span> as in this episode.M Fletcherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01693954362025174971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312858077676500079.post-22892146201894433162008-05-04T13:32:00.011-04:002008-06-03T13:38:34.472-04:00Verbs of the 4th Conjugation (-UI)<embed src="http://www.blogcastone.net/audio/player.swf?soundFile=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.libsyn.com%2Flatinandgreek%2FFourth_Conjugation_-UI.mp3&playerID=10&bg=0xf8f8f8&leftbg=0xeeeeee&lefticon=0x666666&rightbg=0xcccccc&rightbghover=0x999999&righticon=0x666666&righticonhover=0xffffff&text=0x666666&slider=0x666666&track=0xFFFFFF&border=0x666666&loader=0x9FFFB8&loop=no&autostart=no" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="40" width="290"></embed><br />These verbs belong to the 4th Conjugation: <span style="font-style:italic;">salio, salire, salui, saltum</span>. Note that the PERFECT ends in -UI. Note also that two of the verbs in this episode, <span style="font-style:italic;">salto</span> and <span style="font-style:italic;">insulto</span>, belong to the 1st Conjugation. They are built off of the fourth principal part (<span style="font-style:italic;">salt-um</span> > <span style="font-style:italic;">salt-are</span>) or what would have been the fourth principal part (<span style="font-style:italic;">insult-um</span> > <span style="font-style:italic;">insult-are</span>), if it existed. Such verbs denote repetitive or continuous action. This is why the verb <span style="font-style:italic;">saltare</span> means "to dance," because dancing -- for the Romans, at least -- was an act of leaping and bounding continuously.M Fletcherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01693954362025174971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312858077676500079.post-28188616195483180212008-04-19T01:32:00.002-04:002008-05-09T01:15:28.902-04:00Verbs of the 4th Conjugation (-IVI)<embed src="http://www.blogcastone.net/audio/player.swf?soundFile=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn2.libsyn.com%2Flatinandgreek%2FFourth_Conjugation_-IVI.mp3&playerID=10&bg=0xf8f8f8&leftbg=0xeeeeee&lefticon=0x666666&rightbg=0xcccccc&rightbghover=0x999999&righticon=0x666666&righticonhover=0xffffff&text=0x666666&slider=0x666666&track=0xFFFFFF&border=0x666666&loader=0x9FFFB8&loop=no&autostart=no" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="40" width="290"></embed><br />These verbs belong to the 4th Conjugation: <span style="font-style:italic;">audio, audire, audivi, auditus</span>.

Verbs of the Third Conjugation (Deponents & Semi-Deponents)<br /><embed src="http://www.blogcastone.net/audio/player.swf?soundFile=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn1.libsyn.com%2Flatinandgreek%2FThird_Conjugation_Deponents__Semi-Deponents.mp3&playerID=10&bg=0xf8f8f8&leftbg=0xeeeeee&lefticon=0x666666&rightbg=0xcccccc&rightbghover=0x999999&righticon=0x666666&righticonhover=0xffffff&text=0x666666&slider=0x666666&track=0xFFFFFF&border=0x666666&loader=0x9FFFB8&loop=no&autostart=no" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="40" width="290"></embed><br />These verbs belong to the 3rd Conjugation: (nascor, nasci, natus sum). Note that these verbs are passive in form but active in sense. Note also that the last five verbs of the audio are semi-deponents (gaudeo, gaudere, gavisus sum). As you will hear, I have decided to go against convention and not include the final "sum" for the third principal part. Just remember to add it mentally yourself.<br /><br /><div></div><div><div></div></div>M Fletcherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01693954362025174971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312858077676500079.post-2760850017679127162008-01-06T12:49:00.010-05:002008-06-21T11:11:35.096-04:00AboutDo you spend most of your time needlessly looking up the <span style="font-style:italic;">same</span> word again and again when trying to read Latin or Greek? Or are you just tired of looking up so many words you've never seen before? Ever wish you could just open up the works of Cicero, Virgil, Catullus, Homer, Lysias, Herodotus and simply be able to read them? Maybe it's about time you put that dictionary away and kept it handy only for those exceptionally rare words like <span style="font-style:italic;">ientaculum</span>, "a light early-morning refreshment" or λάβραξ, -ακος, "a ravenous sea-fish, probably a bass." This site can help you do just that.<br /><br />Every week I post a new episode of vocabulary that every student of Latin and Greek should know. (Right now we are concentrating on the Latin, but will turn to the Greek soon enough. Here is a post of <a href="http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=12020140215" target="_blank">upcoming episodes</a>, where you can guesstimate when the Greek may first appear on this site.) Each episode runs about three to four minutes on average -- just enough to give you a good dose of vocabulary without overwhelming the memory. You can either use this site by visiting it frequently or subscribe with <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=274172104">iTunes</a> and listen to each episode on the go with your iPod.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">How to Support the Podcast</span><br /><br />If your vocabulary has increased after a few weeks of using this podcast and would like others to know about it, you can help spread the word by becoming a fan of the podcast on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/LATIN-GREEK-Listen-and-Learn/22102029520" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and by writing a favorable review of it on iTunes.<br /><br />Mind you, I make no money from the podcast, but spend a small sum every month just to keep it up and running. Nevertheless, the podcast will always be free, and I will never ask for anything other than words of encouragement and your continual support.M Fletcherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01693954362025174971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312858077676500079.post-39416053333265688272008-01-05T19:42:00.024-05:002008-07-05T10:54:31.176-04:00386 Latin VerbsHere you will find audio clips for 386 of the most frequently used irregular verbs in the Latin language with all four principal parts.<br />The verbs to the right of each link are examples of the type of verbs found in each episode.<br /><br /><a href="http://latinandgreek.blogspot.com/2008/01/verbs-of-first-conjugation-ui.html">1st Conjugation (-UI)</a> domo, domare, domui, domitus<br /><a href="http://latinandgreek.blogspot.com/2008/01/verbs-of-second-conjugation-ui.html">2nd Conjugation (-UI)</a> timeo, timere, timui, ---<br /><a href="http://latinandgreek.blogspot.com/2008/01/verbs-of-second-conjugation-si.html">2nd Conjugation (-SI)</a> jubeo, jubere, jussi, jussus<br /><a href="http://latinandgreek.blogspot.com/2008/02/verbs-of-third-conjugation-si-sus.html">3rd Conjugation (-SI, SUS)</a> mitto, mittere, misi, missus<br /><a href="http://latinandgreek.blogspot.com/2008/02/verbs-of-third-conjugation-si-tus.html">3rd Conjugation (-SI, TUS)</a> scribo, scribere, scripsi, scriptus<br /><a href="http://latinandgreek.blogspot.com/2008/02/verbs-of-third-conjugation-i.html">3rd Conjugation (-I & Reduplication)</a> pello, pellere, pepuli, pulsus<br /><a href="http://latinandgreek.blogspot.com/2008/02/verbs-of-third-conjugation-i-lengthened.html">3rd Conjugation (-I & Lengthened Stem Vowel)</a> lego, legere, legi, lectus<br /><a href="http://latinandgreek.blogspot.com/2008/03/verbs-of-third-conjugation-it-it.html">3rd Conjugation (-IT, -IT)</a> pando, pandere, pandi, passus<br /><a href="http://latinandgreek.blogspot.com/2008/03/verbs-of-third-conjugation-ui.html">3rd Conjugation (-UI)</a> colo, colere, colui, cultus<br /><a href="http://latinandgreek.blogspot.com/2008/03/verbs-of-third-conjugation-vi.html">3rd Conjugation (-VI)</a> sino, sinere, sivi, situs<br /><a href="http://latinandgreek.blogspot.com/2008/03/verbs-of-third-conjugation-u-stems.html">3rd Conjugation (-U Stems)</a> induo, induere, indui, indutus<br /><a href="http://latinandgreek.blogspot.com/2008/03/verbs-of-third-conjugation-i-stems.html">3rd Conjugation (-I Stems)</a> capio, capere, cepi, captus<br /><a href="http://latinandgreek.blogspot.com/2008/04/verbs-of-third-conjugation-sco.html">3rd Conjugation (-SCO)</a> nosco, noscere, novi, notus<br /><a href="http://latinandgreek.blogspot.com/2008/04/verbs-of-third-conjugation-deponents.html">3rd Conjugation (Deponents & Semi-Deponents)</a> nascor, nasci, natus<br /><a href="http://latinandgreek.blogspot.com/2008/04/verbs-of-4th-conjugation-ivi-these.html">4th Conjugation (-IVI)</a> audio, audire, audivi, auditus<br /><a href="http://latinandgreek.blogspot.com/2008/05/verbs-of-4th-conjugation-ui.html">4th Conjugation (-UI)</a> salio, salire, salui, saltum<br /><a href="http://latinandgreek.blogspot.com/2008/05/verbs-of-4th-conjugation-si.html">4th Conjugation (-SI)</a> sentio, sentire, sensi, sensus<br /><a href="http://latinandgreek.blogspot.com/2008/05/verbs-of-4th-conjugation-veni.html">4th Conjugation (-VENI)</a> venio, venire, veni, ventum<br /><a href="http://latinandgreek.blogspot.com/2008/06/verbs-of-4th-conjugation-deponents.html">4th Conjugation (Deponents)</a> blandior, blandiri, blanditus<div><br /><a href="http://latinandgreek.blogspot.com/2008/06/irregular-verb-sum-and-its-compounds.html">The Irregular Verb Sum and Its Compounds</a> sum, esse, fui, futurus</div><div><a href="http://latinandgreek.blogspot.com/2008/07/irregular-verb-fero-and-its-compounds.html">The Irregular Verb Fero and Its Compounds</a> fero, ferre, tuli, latus</div>M Fletcherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01693954362025174971noreply@blogger.com
