Latin Tip

Hi, guys:

The post of today, it will be about Latin. It's only a mnemonic rule, so it's easier to you to study one of the pronouns (well, if you have to xD). Here it is:

LATIN
DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS

All the Latin pronouns are (as you know if you are studying or studied the subject) different from each other. They are not like Declensions, which are a bit easier to study. So, maybe a mnemonic rule, will be useful with them. For example this one (is a bit silly but it helped me so much):
HIC, HAEC, HOC: ESTE, ESTA, ESTO
                                                               
                   SINGULAR
                           M               F           N
N. - V.                 Hic            Haec      Hoc
 AC.                Hunc          Hanc      Hoc
    G.                Huius         Huius     Huius
    D.                 Huic          Huic        Huic
 ABL.             Hoc            Hac        Hoc
                    PLULAL
                           M               F           N
N. - V.                    Hi            Hae      Haec
 AC.                    Hos          Has      Haec
G.                  Horum   Harum    Horum
      D.                        His                His        His
 ABL.                His            His        His
For the singular:
(I love) him a lot
(I love) him a lot
Drunk a lot
Uy!
Huit
Oh my(pronounced as mAi) god!
As you can see, the red letters, are the vowels of the demonstrative pronoun.
For the plural:
The plural of the genitive it’s similar to an Egyptian god (Horus); and the plural of the dative and the ablative, are exactly like one of the English determiner (His). I didn’t find other rules  for the rest.

So, see you on the next post.

PS: I wish that this post helped you!!
