Salvete omnes! If you have been following along in these weekly, Duo-style (but unofficial) Latin lessons, you’ll be ready for some more food vocabulary this week. If you need to catch up and review, here are the links you may find helpful:

New Grammar

Although all our food nouns so far have been in the first 3 declensions, I have one this week that is in the 4th. It looks like a 2nd declension noun, but it’s not. We’ll wait a little before formally studying the 4th declension though.

New Vocabulary

(3 1st declension nouns, all feminine)
carota, ae = carrot
cervisia, ae = beer
farina, ae = flour, meal

(2 2nd declension nouns, both neuter)
acetaria, orum (pl.) = salad, greens dressed with vinegar
oleum, i = oil

(3 3rd declension nouns, gender noted)
holus, holeris (n.) = vegetable
potio, potionis (f.) = a drink, beverage
sal, salis (m.) = salt

(1 4th declension noun)
fructus, us (m.) = fruit, produce

(3 adjectives)
acidus, a, um = sour
salsus, a, um = salty, salted
vegetarianus, a, um = vegetarian

(1 1st conjugation verb)
manduco (1) = eat, devour, chew

Est-ce que le memrise cours ont audio?

[carpelanam]

Non, pas d'audio. Multimedia is beyond my tech abilities at this point.

[forBREAKFEST]

Je ne me souviens pas comment le dire. But that's unfortunate.

[travel.linguist]

Haha, nice for the efforts put in here, but I think lets just wait for a "real" offer from Duolingo to start a Latin course. You are already the third one to post lessons.

[AvaFerengue4]

No, please do not listen to this nay-sayer. Please do not remove these lessons that some of us are enjoying and using!

[travel.linguist]

I did not ask to delete these lessons.

[travel.linguist]

I also created lessons for Latin. I think it is better to keep the working energy for the real start of the Latin course.
