Tu es molesta,

Aurelia. Tu clamas neque

Ego in agris laborare volo!

Davus non clamat.

Chapter 8

GETTING UP EARLY

Nōndum lūcet, sed Aurēlia, māter Marcī et Cornēliae, iam in vīllā occupāta est.

Irāta est quod servōs sedentēs cōnspicit.

“Agite, molestī servī!” inquit. “Cūr nihil facitis? Cur vōs ibi sedētis? Cur nōn

strēnuē labōrātis? Omnia statim parāre necesse est quod nōs hodiē Rōmam

redīmus.” Iam strēnuē labōrant servī.

Tum Aurēlia puerōs excitāre parat. Intrat igitur cubiculum Marcī. Clāmat, “Age,

Marce! Tempus est surgere. Nōs ad urbem redīre parāmus.”

Marcus mātrem audit sed nihil respondet. Deinde Aurēlia cubiculum Sextī intrat.

Clāmat, “Age, Sexte. Tempus est surgere.” Statim surgit Sextus. Celeriter tunicam

et togam induit et brevī tempore ē cubiculō currit.

Iterum Aurēlia cubiculum Marcī intrat. Iterum clāmat, “Age, Marce! Nōs iam

strēnuē labōrāmus. Cūr tū sōlus nōn surgis?”

Gemit Marcus. “Ego nōn surgō,” inquit, “quod Rōmam redīre nōlō. Cur mihi

quoque necesse est ad urbem redīre? Patrem meum prīnceps ad urbem revocat.

Patrem cōnsulere vult. Nōn vult cōnsulere Marcum.”

Subitō intrat Gaius, pater Marcī, et clāmat, “Sed ego volō cōnsulere Marcum!

Cūr, Marce, hodiē mē vexās? Cūr nōn surgis? Cūr nōndum tunicam et togam

induis, moleste puer?”

Nihil repondet Marcus, sed statim surgit quod patrem timet.

In the morning: Dialog in Latin

Write a little play/scene that includes: Aurelia, two slaves, Marcus, Sextus, and Cornelius Work with the 4 partners in your rowto act out this scene on Monday. Have one person in

charge of the script and one who can put it on film (cell phone, camera, I-Pad) The play A) Aurelia tells two slaves to get up (including their reaction/thoughts) and work (getting ready for

the move to Rome) B) Aurelia talks to the boys (who were sleeping). They need to get up and pack bt refuse

(Marcus)

C) Cornelius shows his authority.

Personal Endings

Latin uses personal endings on its verbs instead of separate pronoun subjects as English does.

The Latin personal endings correspond to the same pronoun subjects that English uses.

A Latin verb has its subject built in to the verb. It is not necessary to have a subject noun or pronoun for a Latin sentence.

But most importantly….READ A LATIN VERB BACKWARDS!

Can you find the new personal endings in the Chapter Story?

Iterum Aurēlia cubiculum Marcī intrat. Iterum clāmat, “Age, Marce! Nōs iam

strēnuē labōrāmus. Cūr tū sōlus nōn surgis?”

Gemit Marcus. “Ego nōn surgō,” inquit, “quod Rōmam redīre nōlō. Cur mihi

quoque necesse est ad urbem redīre? Patrem meum prīnceps ad urbem revocat.

Patrem cōnsulere vult. Nōn vult cōnsulere Marcum.”

Subitō intrat Gaius, pater Marcī, et clāmat, “Sed ego volō cōnsulere Marcum!

Cūr, Marce, hodiē mē vexās? Cūr nōn surgis? Cūr nōndum tunicam et togam

induis, moleste puer?”

Nihil repondet Marcus, sed statim surgit quod patrem timet.

Cur, Marce, hodie me vexas?

Quid est subiectum?

Subiectum in verbo est. Tu (-s) est subiectum.

Quid est obiectum?

“Me” est obiectum.

Quid est verbum?

“Vexas” est verbum.

What about me?

I can’t be the subject because I don’t have

a –us ending.

What is this –e?!!

WHAT AM I

DOING HERE?

??

ARE YOU TALKING TO

ME?!!

Wait…

You ARE talking to me!

The vocative case is used when directly addressing someone by name.

1. Quid facis, Flavia?

2. Quid facitis, ancillae?

3. Abite, molesti pueri!

4. Cur nihil facitis, servi ignavi!

5. Pater! Nuntius in villā est!

6. Senatores! Tempus est ad urbem redire.

7. Cave, Sexte! Descende, Sexte!

8. Scribisne epistulas, Corneli?

What other case has endings identical to the vocative? Can you spot the exceptions?

Vocative Case

Is used when calling someone by name. It’s endings are identical to the nominative

except for the 2nd declension singular:-us nouns have a vocative ending of –e.-ius nouns have a vocative ending of –i.

Watch your verb endings in sentences with vocatives. The subject of the sentence could be “you” or “y’all”.

Model Sentences

Puella epistulam tradit, domina.

Puellae epistulas tradunt, dominae. Puer cibum tradit, domine.

Pueri cibos tradunt, domini. Mater arborem curat, senator.

Matres arbores curant, senatores.

Write these on your purple

sheets and label each case.

NARRATOR: Cornelia ridet. FLAVIA: Cur rides, Cornelia? CORNELIA: Rideo quod laeta sum. NARRATOR: Senatores ad urbem redeunt. AURELIA: Cur ad urbem reditis, senatores? SENATORES: Redimus quod princeps nos consulere vult. NARRATOR: Pueri lupum non timent. PUELLAE: Cur lupum non timetis, pueri? PUERI: Lupum non timemus quod temerarii sumus.

Sextus Writes a Letter Your son Sextus sends greetings.

I am happy, my father! Tomorrow Marcus and Cornelia and I are returning to the city

because the emperor says, “It’s time to return to the city, Cornelius.” Today the slave women are

preparing my tunics and toga and cleaning my room. When Aurelia wakes me tomorrow, it is

necessary for me to put on my tunic and toga and leave immediately.

Today however I want to help Davus because Davus likes me. Often Davus shouts, “Where

are you running to, boys? Where are you, boys? Where are you, Sextus? Where is the statue,

Marcus? Come on! It is time to play in the fields.” Then we answer, “We are in the garden,

Davus. The statue is in the fishpond!”

We and the girls often wander in the woods. The girls are frightened and don’t want to

climb the trees, but nothing scares me. Often Marcus and I shout, “You are afraid of wolves,

cowardly girls! Go away, Cornelia! Go away Flavia! We boys are playing here!”

What are you doing in Asia, my father. Do you miss your Sextus? Although I want to see

the city, I miss you. Goodbye.
