O magister, but what about the vocative case? why not include that in all declension charts? Well, here's why (hint: the vocative is usually the same as the nominative) • Support me on Patreon – it helps! / hipaws • This song, along with all my other songs, is on bandcamp: https://hipaws.bandcamp.com/track/wha... • Largely, the vocative looked different for Roman men's names (since they tended to end in -us or -ius in the nominative) and not different for other words. So you can think of the vocative as akin to nicknames used when talking to the person, e.g. • Marce (from Marcus) • Quinte (from Quintus) • Vergilī (from Vergilius) • and so on, like • Sammy (Sam) • Freddy (Fred) • LYRICS • The vocative's the same • as the nominative case • in all declensions • except the 2nd declension. • -us becomes -e • -ius becomes -ī • otherwise the vocative is the same as the nominative • O, saxum (Oh, rock!) • O, puella (Oh, girl!) • O, exercitus (Oh, army!) • O, cornū (Oh, horn!) • O, vir (Oh, man!) • O, amīce (O, friend!) • O, fīlī (O, son!) • The vocative looks the same as the nominative (except for 2nd declension nouns ending in -us or -ius) • #latinlanguage #educationalvideo #grammar #rome
