Why the fuck does fourth declension exist? Why don't they just decline like 2nd declension?

I've been considering it, but I'd been looking at learning Russian.

Knowing the vocabulary can be useful, depending on what field you're in. Learning the grammar is just an exercise in autism.

I can speak Russian and learned Latin. All I can say is that Latin is a waste of time.

>> No.12514514

why do people fucking type like this

>> No.12514548

Yes, it's good to learn Latin. It teaches you grammar like nothing else. It's especially good if you wish to pursue a linguistics-related field.

>> No.12514610

>>12514499
>linguam latinam
More proper to use the ablative here
>loquere
loquor is deponent, meaning loqui is the infinitive and loquere is the imperative
>intercambios
Not a real word
>cum nullum dubitum
cum takes the ablative here, nullo dubito
cum is also not necessary
>dominat
dominor is also deponent, dominatur not dominat

Where I live, you learn Latin in school. It's Party damn useful when learning different languages and in science for understanding certain terms.

I can already tell that you either speak Spanish or Italian. Cambiare is an actual late latin word but I'm not aware of the existence of cambius

most biological terms are actually derived from Greek, not Latin but there is this bizarre mix of both, if I had to guess id say its about 70/30 Greek to Latin

No, you're only making use of a finite pool of latin-ish words and conjugations that exist as a quasi-descriptive shorthand; you're going to pick up through the course of study.

most of the greek terms came through latin though, so they've been latinised
