Stage 10 Grammar
We and You
• nos laboramus
• vos laboratis
• We work.
• You work
Notice that vos laboratis is the plural
form. It is used when you refers to more
than one person.
You have now met the whole of the
present tense.
• (ego) porto
• (tu) portas
•
portat
• (nos) portamus
• (vos) portatis
•
portant
• I carry, I am carrying
• you carry, you are
carrying
• s/he carries
• we carry, we are
carrying
• you carry, you are
carrying
• they carry, they are
carrying
Notice that nos and vos are
not strictly necessary, since
the endings –mus and –tis
make it clear that we and you
are being spoken about. The
Romans generally used nos
and vos only for emphasis.
Examples
•
•
•
•
•
•
nos pugnamus
vos dormitis
dicimus.
videmus.
videtis.
nuntiatis.
•
•
•
•
•
•
We are fighting.
You are sleeping.
We speak.
We see.
You see.
You announce.
The Latin for we are and you
(plural) are is as follows:
• nos sumus iuvenes.
• vos estis pictores.
• We are young men.
• You are painters.
So the complete present tense of sum is:
(ego) sum
I am
(tu) es
you are (S)
est
s/he is
(nos) sumus we are
(vos) estis
you are (P)
sunt
they are
Grammar Part II
Look at the following sentences:
• nos Romani sumus
callidi.
• nos Romani sumus
callidiores quam vos
Graeci.
• nos Romani sumus
fortes.
• nos Romani sumus
fortiores quam vos
Graeci.
• We Romans are
clever.
• We Romans are
cleverer than you
Greeks.
• We Romans are
brave.
• We Romans are
braver than you
Greeks.
The words in red, bold type
are know as comparatives.
They are used to compare
two things or groups with
each other. In the example
above, the Romans are
comparing themselves with
the Greeks.
The following comparatives are
irregular:
• Nuceria est magna.
• Roma est maior
quam Nuceria.
• sententia tua est
bona.
• sententia mea est
melior quam tua.
• Nuceria is large.
• Rome is larger than
Nuceria.
• Your opinion is good.
• My opinion is better
than yours.
Example #1
• Pompeiani sunt stulti.
• The Pompeians are stupid.
• Nucerini sunt stultiores quam
Pompeiani.
• The Nucerians are more stupid
than the Pompeians.
Example #2
• Diodorus erat iratus.
• Diodorus was angry.
• sed Thrasymachus erat iratior
quam Diodorus.
• But Thrasymachus was angrier
than Diodorus.
Example #3
• mea villa est pulchra.
• My house is beautiful.
• sed tua villa est pulchrior quam
mea.
• But your house is more
beautiful than mine.
