Before we go over anything, let’s take a look at this sentence :<\/p>\n
(1) Sum f\u0113mina et medicus<\/strong> = I am a woman and a doctor.<\/p>\n The word I want to focus on is “et”. “Et” serves as the conjunction “and”. Also, all the vocabulary used here was used in previous posts, so take a look at the previous posts for any further clarification. Some of these words, like “sum” was used more than once, so hopefully you know what they mean by now.<\/p>\n Now let’s see what happens when “et” is used twice in a sentence :<\/p>\n (1) Ego sum et\u00a0servus et am\u012bcus<\/strong> = I am both a servant and a friend.<\/p>\n When “et” is used twice in a sentence, it will mean “both…and”.<\/p>\n Take a look at this phrase :<\/p>\n (1) Puer virque<\/strong> = The boy and the man.<\/p>\n The part that I want to highlight is “que” at the end of “vir”. When “que” is attached to the end of a word, it can mean “and”.<\/p>\n Now look at this sentence :<\/p>\n (1) Aedific\u014d casam scaphamque<\/strong> = I am building a house and a boat.<\/p>\n Aedific\u0101re<\/strong> = to build. Casa<\/strong> = house. Scapha<\/strong> = boat.<\/p>\n Did you notice how both “casa” and “scapha” contained the ending -am, which is the direct object form of “casa” and “scapha”?<\/p>\n Let’s see if you’ve been paying attention. Can you translate these sentences? Answers will be in parentheses.<\/p>\n (1) P\u012br\u0101tam et nautam spect\u0101s<\/strong> (You are watching the pirate and the sailor)<\/p>\n (2) Po\u0113ta est et conv\u012bva et am\u012bcus<\/strong> (The poet is both a guest and a friend)<\/p>\n (3) Puellam f\u0113minamque lab\u014drant<\/strong> (The girl and the woman is working)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Before we go over anything, let’s take a look at this sentence : (1) Sum f\u0113mina et medicus = I am a woman and a doctor.
