I feel the same way about things like Christmas Carols (e.g. Adeste Fideles).

Another reason to learn Latin so that one can understand and appreciate the original version.

I didn't really understand English grammar until I studied Latin. Having it all laid out in the case and declension systems made it finally click. Latin isn't the only language that does this, but this is yet another of its benefits.

@frenchimp 11 ай бұрын

How do Latin cases help you understand English grammar, given that English doesn't have cases? I would say that learning ANY foreign language helps you understand the grammar of your language, because it makes you aware that your language has a very specific 'logic' but other forms of 'logic' are possible, and what appeared as obvious becomes interesting. You become aware that there's something to understand, whereas previously everything appeared to go without saying.

@edwardmacnab354 11 ай бұрын

cases are used in German and English is a Germanic language , but in 1066 the Normans conquered England and forced French onto the English so that most of the case system was eliminated from the modern English language

@frenchimp 11 ай бұрын

@@edwardmacnab354 I don't think the disappearence of cases in English has much to do with French being "forced onto the English". There was already a weakening of the case system which went on for several centuries and is a natural process which happened in other Germanic languages (even German has much less of a case system as Old High German did, and in some German dialects there's even less case distinctions).

@carlos_takeshi 11 ай бұрын

@@frenchimp Because the case system makes function explicit. Take the sentence "the boy gives the girl the book." Three nouns and a verb. The nouns have the role of a subject, an object, and an indirect object. If you already know English grammar, it's a very straightforward sentence. The trick is, you have to get there first. With the Latin version "puer puellae librum dat", it's all in plain sight. The roles are literally tacked on to the nouns visually, with the case endings. Puer is the subject, because it's in the nominative. Librum is the object because it's in the accusative. Puellae is the indirect object because it's in the dative. Learning the case system, what the cases are, what they do, doing translations, laid bare what English grammar was doing in a less obvious way.

@edwardmacnab354 11 ай бұрын

@@frenchimp good to know , but my question would be , how does understanding cases help @carlos_takeshi understand English Grammar better ? being an English speaker from the start I am clueless as to how English actually works and see it as a mish mash of very complicated ways of doing things that one just feels as correct. I should add that German is impossibly complicated with a Huge weight of Grammar to learn , at least for me , and the same goes for Latin .

@tahiti1 11 ай бұрын

My basic knowledge of Latin has been incredibly useful in learning Italian, Spanish and Portuguese (and Italian has helped improve my latin too), not to mention how much Latin has helped me as a teacher of English, mainly to hispanic speakers. I only wish my school hadn't abolished it after studying for only 1 term at school!! So many academics and clerics sadly manage to kill Latin completely when they speak it without intonation or feeling, but Italian Latin speakers are great at bringing it to life (and a few great KZfaqrs too!) Vivat Latin!!

@guillermorivas7819 9 ай бұрын

I learned Latin on my own in high school, I kept studying it on and off ever since. It vastly improved my vocabulary in English and in Spanish. I am native speaker of both Spanish and English - bilingual. Teaching Latin to Hispanics in the United States is a great idea because it would boost their confidence/egos when they are learning Latin, see how English has borrowed essentially 30-60% of its vocabulary directly/indirectly from Latin. Latin sounds very Spanish-like, as well. It would make the spanish speakers proud of their language Spanish for looking/sounding quite similar to Latin. Just my 2 cents.

He specifically didn't emphasize the religious / parochial aspect of Latin. He wants people to learn and enjoy Latin regardless of religion. So-speaking of Western Classical Music-not just Mass and Requiem, but also _Carmina Burana._ After all, Latin predates Christianity by about 700 years.

@nHans 11 ай бұрын

@@cb8655 That's true. To keep the video to a reasonable length, he has picked the 11 most compelling reasons out of-what I'm sure must've been-a much longer list. Either way, he didn't mention that Catholic Churches have Mass in Latin. He also didn't mention _O Fortuna_ from _Carmina Burana._ I was sure he'd play it-it's a very popular piece of music-and then point out that it's in Latin. (For other languages, he does mention music as a compelling reason to learn the language.) I'm guessing it's because there isn't a lot of secular music with Latin lyrics if you exclude Mass and Requiem. He did mention Mel Gibson's _The Passion of the Christ._ I'm again guessing-it's because there aren't many other movies containing substantial dialogs in Latin. Of course, every movie has a small amount of Latin, usually a short phrase or sentence like _carpe diem, in vino veritas, Semper Fi, et cetera._ But those don't require you to learn Latin. Even the movie _Quo Vadis_ was wholly in English. _Monty Python's Life of Brian_ had a bit more Latin, but still not enough. So ... do you know Latin? If not, are you planning to learn?

Fun fact! 'Audio' and 'Video' are imported direct from Latin! So are 'junior', 'senior', 'monitor'... quite a lot of 'or words in fact.

Bene. Luca Ranieri singing. Funny 😆 His videos help viewers speak Latin. Related to Reason 10 Grammar. Cases to be exact. Many more cases than Russian 🇷🇺 or German 🇩🇪, which I learned. I can apply case thinking to the Asian language I am learning, Tagalog 🇵🇭. Reason 12 is for Christians ✝️. To read and respond to Latin in churches ⛪. Latin is especially helpful in the Catholic Church ⛪, my religion. From prayers 🙏, to The Bible, to formal address by The Pope, Latin helps. It is the key 🔑

Latin is a sacred language as it was one of the languages placed above Christ's head on the cross along with Greek and Hebrew. Many exorcists mention that demons can't stand Latin and leave someone almost immediately. Latin is very powerful. Exorcist use Latin prayers when casting out demons.

I can confirm all the statements in this video clip. Seven years of Latin in middle school actually helped me later, when I actually came to programming unplanned, as I can say in retrospect. As a retiree, I will turn away from technology again to ancient languages like Ancient Greek, Sanskrit, and Sumerian (can one learn Sumerian at all?), unless Alois Alzheimer hits me.

I'm afraid that most of the arguments, if not all, apply to other languages as well, including languages which are in use in our day and age. If you want intricate sentences and declensions, why not learn German? If you want even more complicated morphology and grammar, why not learn Russian? If you want to get a better grip on the latinate part of English, any romance language will do, and if you want to expand your cultural horizons, any foreign language will do. Latin is great for people who like to learn languages for their own sake, without expecting practical rewards. If it's fun for you to learn Latin, go ahead.

German helps much more, beacause english is closer with german grammar than latin grammar. Latin helps those who speak romance languages like portuguse, spanish, french...
