Latin Maury Povich

"Luke, pater tui sum!"
or more dramatic:
"Luke, ego sum tui pater!"

[J.C.M.H.]

*Luca, ego sum pater tuus!

[PERCE_NEIGE]

For the nominative. Either Lūcās or Lūcius. And Lūca and Lūcie, for the vocative form (when you address directly to the person)

Is it right?

[Clebus_Maximus]

Vocative of lucius is luci

What is the difference between "pater noster" and "pater nostrum"?

[J.C.M.H.]

Pater nostrum does not exist in Latin, because pater is nominative, and nostrum accusative. What exists is patrem nostrum, the accusative of pater noster. Examples.

• Pater noster nos amat → "Our father loves us".
• (Nos) patrem nostrum amamus → "We love our father".

[VincentHei13]

Would "You are a father" also be a correct translation?

[Jurena12]

How can you tell the difference between "you are a father" and "you are the father"?

[PepperJules]

Actually there should be no difference in latin because an equivalent to 'the' doesn't exist (like in Slavic languages). But I could be wrong

[Gfldo]

Hello,

Yes, there are no articles in Latin, so you can translate by "a" or "the". The context (when in longer texts than the sentences here) is what helps you chose one or the other.

[Ilchymis]

Why es and not est?

[Collin612234]

Second person vs third person. Just like how in english you say "you are" and not "you is"

[Timothy873237]

Est is third person (meaning "he, she, or it is").

[Ceolmhor]

What's wrong with "You are Father"?

You're welcome, tuatara80.

[Mister_Linguist]

Things getting a bit dramatic here...

[jeff179297]

From middle America, learning Spanish via Duolingo. I have very little experience with Latin. Barley remember grammar from decades ago. Do articles exist in Latin? A/an/the, etc.

[Scian4]

No, Latin has no articles
