Stage 14 GrammarAdjectives (p. 34-35) • An adjective describes a noun. • The words in blue in the following sentences are adjectives: • Servusiratus non laborabat. • The angry slave was not working. • Dominus servo fessopraemiumdedit. • The master gave the tired slave a reward. • Agricola servumignavumpunivit. • The farmer punished the lazy slave.
Adjectives Cont. • Adjectives change their endings to match the nouns they modify. Adjectives must match their nouns in three ways: • Noun case (nom., dat., acc., etc.) ex. Servusiratus non laborabat. Iratus is nominative because it is describing a nominative noun (servus). ex. Dominus servo fessopraemiumdedit. Fesso is dative because it is describing a dat. noun (serv0). • Number (sing./pl.) ex. Ancillaeperterritae ad culinamcontendunt. Perterritaeis plural because it is describing a plural noun (ancillae). 3. Gender (masculine, feminine, neuter )[stage 15]
Adjectives Cont. (p. 38) • IT IS NOT NECESSARY FOR AN ADJECTIVE’S ENDING TO LOOK LIKE THE ENDING OF THE NOUN IT MODIFIES. IT NEEDS ONLY MATCH IN NUMBER, CASE, AND GENDER! • Ex. Civisservumfortemlaudavit. • The adjective fortem agrees with its noun in number, case, and gender; however, the endings do not look the same. • This is because they belong to different declensions and have different ways of forming their cases. • From what declension is servus? • From what declension is fortis?
Adjectives Cont. • A Predicate Adjective is an adjective in the predicate (verb) part of the sentence. Predicate adjectives describe the subject of the sentence and match the SN in number, case, and gender. • Ex. Britannisuntstultissimi. What is the declension, case, and number of the noun Britanni? • 2nddec., nom. pl. • Ex. Uxor,esinsana. • Notice that the pronoun “you” indicated by the verb refers to “uxor”. Therefore, the adjective which describes uxor must be in the nominative case.
