For the third person pronouns, what declension are they similar to?
hic and ille
For Latin, will there always be a possessive word when their is an understanding of possession?
No. Sometimes possession is implied;
So for example: “patriam amāmus” should be translated “we love OUR country” (notice that there is no possessive Latin word)
Other than as a third person pronouns, how else can is, ea, id be used?
As a demonstrative, translatable as “this/these, that/those”
When will you typically see is, ea, id being used as a demonstrative?
When it is immediately preceding and modifying a noun (same number, gender, and case)
For example:
“Is est bonus” can be translated “He is good”
“Is amicus est vir bonus” “This friend is a good man.”
How is the demonstrative Īdem, eadem, idem formed?
Mostly By adding -dem directly to the forms for is, ea, id (the only two places this does not work is the singular nominatives īdem and idem)
There are a few places that Īdem, eadem, idem is not formed perfectly from is, ea, id; what are those forms?
- Nom. sing. īdem and idem
- Acc. sing. eunem, eandem, idem
- Gen. pl. eōrundem, eārundem, eōrundem
(# 2 and 3 the final -m changes to -n- before the -dem suffix)
