Subdeacon Joe Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Your Latin Lesson for today: "The phrase employs the gerundive, a verbal adjective, of deleo, delere, delevi, deletum, "to destroy",[2] (delendus, -a, -um). The future passive participle "delenda" (meaning "to be destroyed") is then combined with the verb sum ("to be"[3]) or parts thereof, adds an element of compulsion or necessity, yielding "is to be destroyed", or, as it is more commonly rendered "must be destroyed". This then forms a predicative adjective.[4] This construction in Latin is known as the passive periphrastic. Carthago, -inis being a feminine noun, the feminine gender of the gerundive is applied. The fuller forms Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam or Ceterum autem censeo Carthaginem esse delendam use the so-called accusative and infinitive for the indirect statement."

A little bit of knowledge of them can often allow you to puzzle out the meaning of a word that is new to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well be scratchings on the walls of the pyramids. In the case of Koine Greek, you can read the New Testament in the original, which is fun. It's definitely not modern Greek, but will give you a leg up on the contemporary language. Just learning the alphabet and getting a good English/Greek interlinear NT will teach you a lot of Greek, and it's enjoyable to turn to from time to time on various passages.
