The next in a series of lessons introducing the basic grammar of the Romance languages. This video gives a brief overview of the grammatical gender and number of nouns in Vulgar Latin and the Romance languages. Learn about masculine, feminine & neuter nouns and singular & plural nouns in Vulgar Latin and the modern Romance languages. Neuter nouns generally merged with masculine nouns in the modern languages: *muru (masc.) and *verbu (neut.) are both treated as masculine in e.g. French, Spanish and Italian. Romanian offers an exception: Romanian 'mur' is masculine, while 'verb' is neuter. There's an East/West split in the way languages handle plurals. Latin MVRVS had a nominative plural MVRI and an accusative plural MVROS. Western Romance languages like Portuguese use the plural *muros, while Eastern Romance languages like Romanian rely on *muri. We'll explore nominatives and accusatives a bit more in the videos on noun cases and object pronouns. "The Grammar of Romance" has an associated website (free) and book ($). Both offer more explanations and examples: http://www.nativlang.com/romance-languages/ http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1475246633/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag;=nativlangu-20 CORRECTIONS & ADDITIONS - I pronounce the Brazilian Portuguese word 'artes' as /'aχtʃiʃ/. A more typical Brazilian pronunciation of that word is /'axtʃis/, with plural -s pronounced /s/ instead of /ʃ/. MUSIC by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)

This is lesson #1 in the series "Arabic Grammar for Understanding the Quran". In this lesson, we will cover: 1. The four "traits" of the ism: definiteness, gender, number, and case, 2. The adjective (sifah). 3. The three types of plural (jam'): broken, masculine sound, feminine sound. Some useful resources for learning Quranic Arabic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be7gvuBFvh8 Please remember to subscribe to this channel! ~~~ Learn Arabic - Arabic Grammar for Understanding the Quran Knowledge of Arabic grammar is both a core prerequisite and an invaluable asset for the serious student of knowledge. Unfortunately, for the majority of Muslims living the West today, obtaining a working knowledge of Arabic grammar seems virtually impossible. The greatest barrier between us and a mastery of Arabic grammar is the widespread notion that Arabic grammar is irresolvably complex, that it is too detailed, too vast, and too technical. We believe that learning Arabic grammar takes way too long to do, that we will burn out long before we begin reaping its fruits. We further believe Arabic grammar is "all or nothing"--that it's useless unless we learn ALL of it. And it's impossible to learn ALL of it. So we don't bother to start; we decide it's not worth learning ANY of it. These notions are self-imposed psychological shackles OR unpleasant encounters we've had when we tried to learn Arabic before OR the whispers of the sneaky one, Shaytaan (or all of the above). But at the end of the day, our reality is one: we have deprived ourselves of the key for unlocking a deeper, more intimate relationship with the Quran (and Sunnah) and thus, denied ourselves the opportunity of tasting the full sweetness of divine knowledge. As for the misconceptions: (1) Arabic grammar is indeed "complex", but let's be real: everything about the human existence is complex. Life is complex. Think about driving a car and our daily responses to an infinite number of possible occurrences on the road. Because we are so FAMILIAR with driving, much of the required thinking is automated or "reflexive". Complexity is not synonymous with difficulty. Why can't Arabic grammar come as naturally as driving does? It can. We have all earned degrees in engineering, medicine, literature, history, education, accounting, etc. If we can master these complex subjects, why can't we learn Arabic grammar? We can. (2) Like any discipline, the study of Arabic grammar can be a lifelong pursuit, but there's no rule saying, "Once you start to learn Arabic, you cannot stop until you've mastered it". You don't need to be a grammarian to possess a working, intermediate-level understanding of Arabic grammar. We also forget that the fruits of Arabic grammar can be reaped IMMEDIATELY, from day #1, lesson #1. (3) Arabic grammar is NOT "all or nothing". Like mentioned above, even knowledge of a few simple, isolated rules will permanently strengthen our relationship with the Quran. Aware of the above concerns, I made this video series (Arabic Grammar for Understanding the Quran) for anyone who wants to learn Arabic. The following are my objectives: (1) Presenting a "complex" subject in a simple, intuitive way. My goal is to maintain clarity both in the descriptions and in the visuals used. (2) Shrinking 2.5 years of Arabic grammar content into 20 short videos, each lasting between 30-45 minutes (for a grand total of no more than 15 hours), insha'Allah. This requires a massive condensing of material as well as an omission of a few concepts. (3) Demonstrating the relevance of grammar and the real-life application of grammar rules ("theory") to understanding the Quran ("practice"). Thus, every single lesson will feature step-by-step grammatical analyses of Quranic verses. Please subscribe to my channel, and provide me with feedback for this project, insha'Allah. I pray that Allah SWT accepts our intentions and efforts. Ameen.

"What's the different"? "Today morning"? "I enjoyed"? Improve your grammar by correcting the common mistakes in these English sentences. A good review for all students, especially at intermediate and advanced levels. Also check our full resource of 100 Common Grammar Mistakes in English at http://www.engvid.com/english-resource/50-common-grammar-mistakes-in-english/ Quiz: http://www.engvid.com/8-common-grammar-mistakes-in-english/ TRANSCRIPT Hi. I'm Rebecca from engVid. In this lesson, you'll have a chance to review eight common English errors. So, let's see how you do. The first one: "Today morning I woke up late." So, what's wrong with that? There is actually something wrong with each and every one of these. I'll tell you that in advance; there's no... There are no tricks here. Okay? So, what's wrong with that sentence? "Today morning I woke up late." Well, it should be: "This morning". Okay? We don't say: "Today morning". We say: "This morning". Number two: "What's the different?" What's the different? Well, that's wrong too, because "different" is an adjective. What you want to use here is the noun. So, what's the noun of this word? "Difference". "What's the difference?" Okay? This is a really common error, so make sure you don't make this one. Next one: "I met John two years before." Okay? What's wrong with that? Well, over here, we can't say: "I met John two years before." We can say: "I met two... I met John two years ago." All right? If you use the word "before", then you have to say before something. "Before I graduated". Okay? "Before I got married", or whatever. But you can't use "before" by itself. So the proper word there is "ago". "I met John two years ago." Next one: "This is a six-months course." That sounds almost okay, but it's not okay. So the mistake here is with the "s". When we use this expression, it becomes... The entire expression becomes an adjective for the noun "course". So we should say: "This is a six-month course.", "This is a million dollar contract." And so on. Okay? That's another... Each of these is a different element of grammar, different aspect of grammar, and so on. Next, number five: "Thank you. I really enjoyed." What's wrong with that? Well, the problem is here. "Enjoyed" is a reflexive verb, so you would need to say: "I really enjoyed myself.", "I really enjoyed myself.", "He enjoyed himself.", "She enjoyed herself.", "We enjoyed ourselves.", "They enjoyed themselves." Okay? So there are certain reflexive verbs in English, and we need to use them correctly. That's one of them. Very common one. Okay, number six: "Did you loose your cellphone?" What's wrong with that? I helped you a little bit by actually showing you where the error is. So, many people make this error. This is actually a spelling mistake. You should be spelling the word this way. "Did you lose your cellphone?" "Loose" is an adjective which means not tight, and "lose" is the opposite of "find". Okay? "Did you lose your cellphone?" Also, the pronunciation is "lose" and not "loose". Next one: "This is an academic course.", "This is an academic course." So, what was wrong with what I said there? Okay? So, what was wrong was my pronunciation of that. So many people mispronounce this word. It is not "academic". It is "academic". The stress is on the middle. Academic. "This is an academic course.", "This is an academic program." Okay? So, if... In case you make that mistake. I'm not saying you do. In case you do, make sure you correct it. Last one: "Yes, I have a free time." Is that...? What's wrong there? What's going on? Okay, here. We don't need to say: "A free time". We need to say: "Free time", because this is a... Time is an uncountable noun. Now, each one of these examples represents a different aspect of grammar. So, how can you possibly learn all of them? Well, I'll give you two easy ways to help you out. One is to go to our website: www.engvid.com, because there, we have currently I think more than 700 lessons on different aspects of English grammar and of English in general for exams, for writing, speaking, all kinds of things. And by watching them, you can find the lessons that you actually need. And the other thing is that we also have... I've written actually a resource which might help you, which shows 50 such common errors that people make in English, and that might help you out as well. Okay? So, I hope you did well, and I hope you continue to do better and better in English. All the best with your English. Bye for now.

The Origin of Old English

Old English is a language closely related to Old Frisian, both forming part of the West Germanic branch of the Germanic languages, a sub-group of the Indo-European language family. The Proto-Indo-Europeans were the speakers of the Proto-Indo-European language (PIE). Knowledge of them comes chiefly from linguistic reconstruction. According to some archaeologists, PIE speakers cannot be assumed to have been a single, identifiable people or tribe, but were a group of loosely related populations ancestral to the later, still partially prehistoric, Bronze Age Indo-Europeans. However, this view is not shared by linguists, as proto-languages generally occupy small geographical areas over a very limited time span, and are generally spoken by close-knit communities such as a single small tribe. The following changes are known or presumed to have occurred in the history of Proto-Germanic in the wider sense from the end of Proto-Indo-European up to the point that Proto-Germanic began to break into mutually unintelligible dialects. Pre-Proto-Germanic: This stage began with the separation of a distinct speech, perhaps while still forming part of the Proto-Indo-European dialect continuum. Early Proto-Germanic: This stage began its evolution as a form of centum PIE that had lost its laryngeals and had five long and six short vowels, as well as one or two overlong vowels. The consonant system was still that of PIE minus palatovelars and laryngeals, but the loss of syllabic resonants already made the language markedly different from PIE proper. Late Proto-Germanic: By this stage, Germanic had emerged as a distinctive branch and had undergone many of the sound changes that would make its later descendants recognisable as Germanic languages. It had shifted its consonant inventory from a system rich in plosives to one containing primarily fricatives, had lost the PIE mobile pitch accent in favour of a predictable stress accent, and had merged two of its vowels. The stress accent had also begun to cause the erosion of unstressed syllables already, which would continue in its descendants up to the present day. This final stage of the language included the remaining development until the breakup into dialects, and most notably featured the appearance of nasal vowels and the first beginning of umlaut, another characteristic Germanic feature. Old English is much closer to modern German and Icelandic than modern English in most respects, including its grammar. It is fully inflected with five grammatical cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, and instrumental), two grammatical numbers (singular and plural) and three grammatical genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter). First and second person personal pronouns also have dual forms for referring to groups of two people. Adjectives, pronouns and (sometimes) participles agree with their antecedent nouns in case, number and gender. Finite verbs agree with their subject in person and number. Nouns come in numerous declensions. Verbs come in nine main conjugations (seven strong and two weak), each with numerous subtypes, as well as a few additional smaller conjugations and a handful of irregular verbs. The main difference from other Indo-European languages, such as Latin, is that verbs can be conjugated in only two tenses and have no synthetic passive voice. Gender in nouns are grammatical, as opposed to the natural gender that prevails in modern English. That is, the grammatical gender of a given noun does not necessarily correspond to its natural gender, even for nouns referring to people. For example, sēo sunne (the Sun) is feminine, se mōna (the Moon) is masculine, and þat wīf "the woman/wife" is neuter (compare German cognates die Sonne, der Mond, das Weib). Pronominal usage could reflect either natural or grammatical gender, when it conflicts. The history of Old English can be subdivided in: Prehistoric Old English (c. 450 to 650); for this period, Old English is mostly a reconstructed language as no literary witnesses survive (with the exception of limited epigraphic evidence). Early Old English (ca. 650 to 900), the period of the oldest manuscript traditions, with authors such as Cædmon, Bede, Cynewulf and Aldhelm. Late Old English (c. 900 to 1066), the final stage of the language leading up to the Norman conquest of England and the subsequent transition to Early Middle English.

http://www.engvid.com Do you know how to build a sentence in English? In this lesson, you will learn the basic parts of a simple sentence, or independent clause. Knowing this will make it easier to understand any sentence in written English. Understanding how these different parts of a sentence work together to form meaning will help you write better in English. The knowledge in this lesson is essential for any 'Independent User' or 'Proficient User' of English. Quiz yourself here: http://www.engvid.com/english-grammar-the-sentence/ TRANSCRIPT Hi again. I'm Adam. Welcome back to www.engvid.com. Today I have a very important lesson, I think, for all of you that will help you very much with your reading, but especially your writing skills. Okay? Today we're going to look at the sentence. What is a sentence? Now, I know that all of you are saying: "Well, we know what a sentence is. We've learned this a thousand times before." Right? I know what you've learned and I know what you haven't learned, many of you; some of you have, of course. The sentence has a very basic structure, there's a very basic component that must be involved or included in a sentence, and a lot of grammar teachers, a lot of English teachers don't teach this. Okay? All of you, I'm sure have by now heard of "SVO", but have you heard of "SVsC"? Have you heard of "SVC"? Maybe yes, maybe no. But I'm sure a lot of you are going: "What? I've never heard of these things before." Well, we're going to talk about this in one second. Before we talk about a sentence, we have to talk about a clause. Now, what is a clause? I'm sure you've heard this word before as well, but just in case, a clause is any subject, verb combination. It's a group of words that must include a subject and a verb. Now, also very important to remember: it must be a tense verb, meaning that it must take a time; past, present, future. Okay? No base verb, no infinitive verb. So that is a clause. Now, there are two types of clauses. Okay? We have independent clauses and we have dependent clauses. The... These are sometimes called subordinate clauses. Now, every sentence in English to be a grammatically correct sentence must have an independent clause. It doesn't need a dependent clause, but it could have one. The independent clause could include a dependent clause as the subject or object. We'll talk about that after. So an independent clause has a subject and a verb, and it can stand by itself. It can contain a complete idea by itself. Okay? So, technically, the shortest sentence you can have in English will be a... Will be an independent clause with a subject and verb. What is the absolute shortest sentence that you can think of? Think of a sentence, the shortest you can possibly make it. Okay? Here's an example: "Go!" Is this a complete English sentence? Yes. Why? Because it contains an independent clause. Where? We have the implied subject: "you" and the tense verb: "go", the imperative tense "go". So this your basic English sentence. Now, we have three other types, three basic types and we can of course play with these after. Subject, verb, object. Some independent clauses must have an object, we'll talk about that in a second. Excuse me. Subject, verb, subject complement. Some sentences must have a subject complement. Subject, verb, complement. Okay? We're going to talk about each of these in a moment. I have the "A" here because quite often, this complement is actually an adverb phrase or an adverbial. We'll talk about that in a second. So your basic sentence can be any one of these three. Now, the reason we're looking at this... All these structures is because once you understand what must be contained in a sentence, then you can read any English sentence out there that is grammatically correct and be able to understand the main idea of that sentence. Okay? So let's start with "SVO". Okay, let's look at our "SVO" type of independent clause: subject, verb, object. Now, first, what is an object? Well, we have two types of objects to talk about. We have the direct object, we have the indirect object. Now, the thing to understand is that the object always answers a question about the verb, it completes the meaning of the verb by asking the questions: "What?" or: "Who?" Now, keep in mind that technically, it's: "Whom?" But if you say: "Who?" I'll let it go this time. Okay? Formal academic writing, "Whom?", "Whom?", "Whom?" IELTS, TOEFL, SAT, all that - "Whom?" not: "Who?" In the object position. But the direct object answers: "What?" or: "Who?" about the verb. Okay? We'll get back to that.

I was asked by 'AncientHeb' to show an example where context effected the translation of a verse. In Gen.3:2, the word 'tree' in the singular is translated as a plural 'trees' in every translation (except the LXX) when there is no grammatical requirement to do so. Context required it. An Introduction to Biblical Hebrew Syntax-Walke and O'Conner Grammatical number thus does not directly and necessarily represent "thought." It is rather a language- and cultural-specific system. It should be no surprise that Hebrew grammatical number cannot always be represented straightforwardly in English. Since number may be used in many different ways within a language and since it is determined in part by the MEANING OF THE WORD (my emphasis), our discussion will touch on many facets of syntax and LEXICON (my emphasis).... A collective singular may not agree in number with other words in the sentence syntactically related to it... thus a singular collective noun can govern a plural verb We distinguish between words in Hebrew that are conventionally collective (i.e., words almost always represented in the singular) and those that are nonconventionally collective (i.e., words that are often represented by the plural but for CONTEXTUAL (my emphasis) reasons may be represented by a collective).

Grammar of Romance - conjugating verbs in Vulgar Latin & the Romance languages

Updated: 01 Dec 2013
views: 2982

The next in a series of lessons on the grammar of the Romance languages. Learn how verbs developed from Classical Latin through Vulgar Latin and into the Romance languages. Verbs have a meaningful stem and a grammatical ending. Vulgar Latin *cantas "you sing" has a stem cant- "sing" and an ending -as "you X". The verb's ending shares information about the person (1st, 2nd or 3rd) and number (singular or plural) of its subject. It also contains a thematic vowel, which hints at its Latin conjugation (verb group). The four conjugations: I (thematic a), II (thematic e), III (thematic ĕ), IV (thematic i). A few languages (notably French) have come to expect subject pronouns with verbs: French 'je chante' but not just *'chante' for "I sing". Latin, Vulgar Latin and the majority of modern Romance are pro-drop languages - the verb alone is enough for "I sing" in Portuguese 'canto', Romanian 'cânt', etc. The infinitive ending -re allows you to cite a verb without a subject: *cantare "to sing", *videre "to see", *finire "to finish", etc. "The Grammar of Romance" has an associated website (free) and book ($). Both of them offer more explanations and examples: http://www.nativlang.com/romance-languages/ http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1475246633/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag;=nativlangu-20 Music by Kevin MacLeod

Written Chinese is a standard language across all the dialects of Chinese. It has no singular and plural like English, it does not have tenses in the Western language sense, it has no genders (masculine, feminine or neuter) and nouns and verbs never change, there are no changing endings. You may be thinking, does this mean there is no grammar in Chinese? How can Chinese express all the ideas that Western languages can? Well, Chinese does has grammar. Single characters often have to be joined together to make words, and word order if particularly important. Changing the order of words in a sentence or placing stress on different parts can change the meaning. You can learn all of these principles from practice and from examples. Chinese has a number of grammatical particles. Although they may not correspond exactly to Western tenses or grammatical ideas, they are still aspects of grammar. When the classical Chinese language was modernized, authors started to write as they speak, and more grammatical particles were introduced, which roughly correspond to nouns, verbs and adjectives. So, basically, yes Chinese does have grammar, but it doesn't work in the same way as Western languages. It's not that difficult to learn though. There are lots of different sentence patterns, and you can get used to hearing them or producing them just like you can with any other language.
