For "cupio", it's I-Stem as the ending "-io" shows. It's Consonant Stem, if the 1st dictionary form ending is "-o", without a preceding "i". It's I-Stem, if the 1st dictionary form ending is "-io". The ending of the 1st dictionary form (cupio "I wish") determines if a 3rd Conjugation verb is of I-Stem or Consonant Stem. In the conjugation table of our website (following the link given above) you will find two columns for the 3rd Conjugation: I-Stem and Consonant Stem. The infinitive ending "-ere" marks the 3rd Conjugation.
CERTAMEN LATINUM FULL
The 2nd dictionary form (infinitive) is abbreviated as "-ere", which means that its full infinitive form written out is: "cupere".
In this example, I choose an "-ere" (short "e") type: There are 4 types, which are differentiated by the infinitive ending: -are, -ére, -ere, -ire.
CERTAMEN LATINUM HOW TO
Look at the example with cupio, cupere cupivi cupitum how to do it. Take this verb restituo, restituere, restitui, restitutum ("to restore"), and conjugate it in the Present Tense, and in the 3 Latin past tenses, in the Imperfect, Perfect and Pluperfect tenses. Our first exercise will be with this verb. The verb restituo is really a verb of Augustus. His life was dedicated to the restoration of older Roman traditions, religiousness and customs. He was proud to report in his Res Gestae that he restored 82 temples in Rome and most of the monuments of the City. He called his political system, the Principate, a mixed form of government with republican and monarchical elements, as "Restored Republic". "I have gone" or "I went")Īn important verb in Augustus' life was the verb restituo, restituere, restitui, restitutum ("to restore"). Cut off the ending -i for all classes of verbs, and replace them with the personal endings shown in these tables (follow the links): Cut off the infinitive endings -are, -ére, -ere and -ire, and replace them with the personal endings shown in these tables (follow the links):įor Perfect and Pluperfect tenses, you shall use the so called "perfect stem", obtained by cutting of the Perfect ending of the third dictionary form.
HOW TO CONJUGATE A VERB IN INDICATIVE MOOD?įor Present and Imperfect tenses, you shall use the so called "imperfect stem", obtained by cutting of the infinitive endings of the second dictionary form. Note that “–ere”, which is short vowel, is different from “–ére”, which is long vowel. The 4 variants of infinitive endings and the 4 conjugations determined by the different infinitive endings are: The second dictionary element, the infinitive, determines which conjugation the verb belongs to. The infinitive, “hab-ére” (to have) shows that this verb belongs to the 2nd conjugation, because all verbs that have the infinitive ending “-ére” belong to the 2nd conjugation. When we want to conjugate a verb in the PRESENT tense, we must look at the 2nd dictionary form, the infinitive: " habeo, habére, habui, habitum" (I have, to have, I had, the had one) In the case of the verb “have”, you will find: To determine which conjugation group a verb belongs to, you have to look at the dictionary form of the verb. Latin verbs are grouped into 4 conjugations (verb inflection groups). English puts "I" and "we" before the verb, Latin adds different endings, "-o" and "-mus", to the end of the verb. When English says "I have", "we have", Latin says "habeo" and "habemus". Latin indicates grammatical information by "inflection": by changing the ending of the words. Verbs are words which express what happens in a sentence: action or state of being, like "to go", "to walk", "to see", "to be". Participate in the Certamen Latinum Augusteum, honor Divus Augustus and the 2000th anniversary of his death, and celebrate the 16th birthday of Nova Roma by learning or exercising Latin, our common and sacred Roman language. The Latin exercises will focus on Augustus, facts of his life and examples of his work, the Res Gestae Divi Augusti. We want to remember this significant leader of Rome with the current Certamen Latinum Augusteum, recommending the 16 years old Nova Roma under his protection.
The Ludi Novi Romani celebrate the 16th Anniversary of Nova Roma this year, which year is also the 2000th anniversary of the death of Augustus, the year when he was deified as Divus Augustus. Welcome to the Ludi Romani, and to our contest!
