| 2/12/26 | ![]() Reboot: Etymologizing the beauty behind the word "Nostalgia" and words associated with its deeper meaning and feeling | I. Nostalgia:Definition: Nostalgia refers to a sentimental longing or affectionate yearning for the past, often accompanied by a sense of sadness or wistfulness. It's a complex emotional state triggered by memories and experiences from one's earlier life.Etymology: The word "nostalgia" has its roots in Greek. It combines "nostos," meaning "return home," and "algos," meaning "pain" or "ache." It was originally coined in the late 17th century by a Swiss physician named Johannes Hofer to describe a condition observed in Swiss mercenaries who became homesick while stationed abroad. At the time, it was considered a medical disorder related to homesickness.II. Reminisce:Definition: To reminisce is to recall or talk about past experiences, often in a fond or nostalgic manner. It involves the act of remembering and sharing memories.Etymology: "Reminisce" comes from the Latin word "reminiscere," which means "remember" or "think over again." This word emphasizes the act of revisiting past memories.III. Vintage:Definition: Vintage refers to something of high quality or lasting popularity from the past. It is often associated with items or products from a specific era, typically 20 to 100 years old, which have retained their appeal.Etymology: The word "vintage" has its roots in the Latin word "vindemia," which means "grape harvest" or "wine." Over time, it came to be associated with the age and quality of wine, and eventually, it was extended to describe other valuable and old items.IV. Retro:Definition: Retro refers to a style, fashion, or design that imitates or is reminiscent of the past, often with a sense of nostalgia. It involves adopting elements from earlier eras and incorporating them into contemporary contexts.Etymology: "Retro" is a shortened form of "retrospective," which comes from the Latin word "retrospectus," meaning "look back" or "backward view." It reflects the idea of looking back in time and revisiting past styles or trends.V. Memories:Definition: Memories are the recollections of past events, experiences, or information stored in one's mind. They can evoke feelings of nostalgia when revisited.Etymology: The word "memory" comes from the Latin "memoria," which means "faculty of memory" or "remembrance."VI. Antique:Definition: An antique is a collectible or valuable item that is typically over 100 years old. Antiques are often sought after for their historical and nostalgic significance.Etymology: "Antique" is derived from the Latin word "antiquus," meaning "ancient" or "old." It emphasizes the age and historical value of the item.VII. Melancholy:Definition: Melancholy refers to a deep, pensive, and sometimes sorrowful feeling, often associated with nostalgia and a sense of loss.Etymology: The word "melancholy" has its roots in ancient Greek, where "melas" means "black" and "kholē" means "bile." In ancient medicine, it was believed that an imbalance in the body's humors, including black bile, could lead to a melancholic disposition.VIII. Sentimental:Definition: Sentimental describes a strong emotional attachment or affection for something due to personal or nostalgic reasons. It often involves a heightened emotional response.Etymology: "Sentimental" is derived from the French word "sentiment" and the Latin word "sentire," both of which relate to feelings and emotions.IX. Flashback:Definition: A flashback is a sudden and vivid memory or recollection of a past event, often triggered by a sensory experience or association. It can evoke a strong sense of nostalgia.Etymology: "Flashback" combines "flash" and "back," indicating a sudden return or recollection of a past moment. The term originated in the world of literature and film to describe a narrative device where the story temporarily shifts to an earlier time. | — | ||||||

| 4/25/25 | ![]() Latin Grammar Mini-Series - Understanding Neuter and Substantive nouns in the Second Declension | My links:My Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/rhetoricrevolutionSend me a voice message!: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/liam-connerlyTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mrconnerly?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcEmail: rhetoricrevolution@gmail.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/connerlyliam/Podcast | Latin in Layman’s - A Rhetoric Revolution https://open.spotify.com/show/0EjiYFx1K4lwfykjf5jApM?si=b871da6367d74d92YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MrConnerly There are three important rules to remember here: Neuter nominative and accusative forms are always the same; An adjective agrees with the noun it modifies in number, gender and case; A substantive derives its substance from its gender. Neuter genderAlong with masculine and feminine, Latin also has a neuter gender meaning “neither,” referring to how it is neither masculine nor feminine. Thus neuter gender is often applied to things which don’t have a natural gender, words like: “war” bellum, “iron” ferrum, or “danger” periculum. But it’s not as simple as that. There are many exceptions to this rule and thus in Latin things which are masculine in gender are not necessarily always male in nature. The same holds true for the other two genders. So in Latin it’s not as straightforward as it is in English where “he,” the masculine pronoun, almost always refers to something male or “she,” the feminine pronoun, something female, or “it,” the neuter pronoun, something without gender. In Latin there are many things which we English speakers see as not having natural gender and so we refer to any of these things in the singular as “it,” but in Latin these same things are masculine or feminine. For instance, “penalty” poena is a feminine word, “agricola” farmer is also feminine, as is “memory” memoria; “book” liber is masculine, and “year” annus is too, as is “grief” dolor. Therefore, at the end of the day, gender in Latin is arbitrary and must be memorized for each noun. Patterns do exist, however, that can aid in memorizing a word’s gender. For instance, first-declension nouns which have -a in their nominative singular are almost always feminine. In the same way, second declension nouns ending in -us in their nominative singular are almost always masculine. As we study other declensions and see patterns which can help in memorizing gender, we’ll point them out. Second-declension neuter nouns. Here are the endings for second declension neuter. Note: the nominative singular ending, -um. In second declension singular, that’s the only difference between masculine and neuter forms. In the plural, there are only two differences: the -a ending found in the nominative and accusative of the neuter. And there is one thing to be very careful of here: the neuter nominative and accusative plural -a ending looks a lot like the nominative singular feminine ending in first declension. Confusing these two endings is an easy mistake to make, but because no Latin noun is both first and second declension, these endings do not actually overlap in any way which just underscores the importance of knowing which declension a Latin noun belongs to.Here’s an example of a second-declension neuter noun: bellum, a word which means “war.” Let’s decline it together: Bellum, Belli, Bello, Bellum, Bello, Bella, Bellorum, Bellis, Bella, Bellis2. Substantives are words that are fundamentally adjectives but they function as nouns. Such as the adjective “good.” It can serve as a substantive, that is, as a noun. So, for instance, if you talk about the “goods” in the store, “goods” is a noun meaning “the good things” in the store. The adjective is serving as a noun and that’s a substantive. Similarly, you can talk about a “swift,” a fast-flying bird. Birds are nouns but the word “swift” is at heart an adjective. | — | ||||||

| 4/14/25 | ![]() The Myth of Narcissus - Etiological Implications | Wordpress: https://latininlaymansarhetoricrevolution.wordpress.com/Myth written by me and narrated by me and adapted by me! Once upon a time there lived a youth of extraordinary beauty named Narcissus. He was admired and adored by all who beheld him, and many sought to court him, only to be rejected. His haughty attitude and rejection of the affections of others only served to amplify his appeal, and so Narcissus became a symbol of the power of beauty and a cautionary tale of the dangers of hubris.One day, Narcissus was walking along the banks of a river when he was overcome by his own beauty and stopped to admire his reflection in the water. Though he had rejected the affections of so many, Narcissus was unable to resist his own charms, and he was consumed by an all-consuming love for himself. He became so enamored with his reflection that he stayed there, transfixed, until he eventually died of starvation, his body transforming into the flower that now bears his name.The myth of Narcissus serves as a warning of the dangers of vanity and pride, and a reminder that too much of anything, even of one's own beauty, can be detrimental. In modern times, this timeless lesson is as relevant as ever. The dangers of narcissism and its associated hubris can be seen in the way that people prioritize their own desires and needs over the well-being of others, leading to a breakdown of relationships and a lack of empathy. The story of Narcissus is a reminder that we should all strive to be mindful of the impact of our actions and to be mindful of our own vanity.It’s kind of a double-edged sword.. Narcissism in the modern world is an increasingly common trait, particularly among millennials and younger generations. It is seen in the way people talk about themselves, how they present themselves online, and the way they interact with others. Narcissism can manifest itself in a variety of ways, such as arrogance, entitlement, and a desire for constant validation and admiration from others. It can also lead to a lack of empathy and an inability to accept criticism.At the same time, narcissism can also be beneficial in certain aspects of life. It can give people the confidence and self-belief to achieve their goals, and it can also help them to stand out from the crowd. While it can be a positive trait, it is important to remember that it can be taken to extremes, leading to toxic behavior. It is important to be mindful of the impact that narcissism can have on relationships and try to strike a balance between self-confidence and respect for others. | — | ||||||

| 3/17/25 | ![]() Understanding a Passive vs. Active sentence - Be able to delineate, manipulate, and turn an active sentence into a passive sentence (and vice versa) in both English and Latin | There are three important rules to remember here: (1) the subject is acted upon in a passive sentence; (2) the letter ‘r’ is the most common indicator of the passive voice in the Latin present tense system; (3) passive verbs expect agents. Ok, let’s start with the basics. Passive is a voice. It’s the opposite of active. Simple. I could say it also complements the “yin” to active’s “yang,” but I don’t care much to do so. Anyways, in essence, what the passive voice does is move the action of the verb backwards toward the subject rather than forward toward a direct object. Conversely, active verbs move the action of the verb from the subject toward a direct object. Thus, in principle, passive verbs do not take direct objects. In English, passive verb forms typically involve some form of the verb “to be,” such as: “I am praised,” which is passive, vs. “I praise,” which is active. “ we were warned,” which is passive, as opposed to “we warned,” which is active. “they will be held,” which is passive, as opposed to “they will hold,” which is active. Note: It’s important in English to recognize that when “be” is added to a verb form, it doesn’t always make the verb passive. The addition of a form of the verb “to be” can also make the verb continual. Here’s how to tell those forms apart: a “be” form, combined with a verb that has a participle ending “-ing,” is active, whereas a “be” form, combined with a verb that has a participle ending “-ed,” is passive. For example: “I am praising” which is active, vs. “I am praised, being praised” which is passive; or the active form “we were warning” vs. the passive form “we were warned.” There’s a very easy way to be certain you’re dealing with a passive form and not a continual form: if it makes sense to add “by someone” after the verb form. Whenever you can, the verb form is passive. For example, it makes sense to say “We were warned by someone,” whereas it makes no sense to say “We were warning by someone.” Now let’s look at how the passive voice works grammatically. We’ll start with an active sentence: “Students study Latin.” If we take the active verb “study” and we make it passive by adding the verb “to be” and adding “-ed” to the end of the verb with the result that “study” becomes “is studied,” then turn the direct object of the active sentence “Latin” into the subject of the passive sentence, we end up with the passive sentence “Latin is studied.” Notice it means the same thing: Latin is being studied. But it leaves one thing out: who is doing the studying? If you want to include that in the passive sentence, you must take the subject of the active form (“students”), put it after the passive verb (“is studied”), and append “by” to the front of “students.” The result is: “Latin is studied by students.” The grammatical term for “by students” is the agent. We’ll chat more about that later. Notice that, while both sentences say the same thing, the action of the verb runs in exact opposite directions. In the active sentence, it moves from left to right, from the subject to the direct object. But when the verb is changed to passive, the action runs right to left, toward the subject and from the agent. Here’s the first sentence: “I explained the passive voice.” So, what’s the direct object (Accusative) here? The passive voice. Now, let’s make that the subject (Nominative), add a form of “to be” to the verb (in the right tense, that is) and make the subject the agent, or in layman's deal-io, put “by” in front of it. The result is: “The passive voice was explained by me.” | — | ||||||
