Anyone want to explain to me what the hell purpose a verbal adjective has?
i mean, really.
Couldn't the Romans have had verbs and adjectives always be two separate words?
Or at least have the 'participles' and 'gerunds' follow the same fucking rules as either verbs or adjectives, instaed of having their own damn rules.
wanna see somethin funny?
here are all of the forms of Amare (to love) that i know
Amo, amas, amat, amamus, amatis, amant,
amabo, amabis, amait, amabimus, amabitis, amabunt,
amabam, amabas, amabat, amabamus, amabatis, amabant,
amavi, amavisiti, amavit, amavimus, amavistis, amaverunt,
amaveram, amaveras, amaverat, amaveramus, amaveratis, amaverant,
amavero, amaverit, amaveris, amaverimus, amaveritis, amaverint,
amor, amaris, amatur, amamur, amamini, amantur,
amabar, amabaris, amabatur, amabamar, amabamini, amabantur,
amabor, amabitur, amabimur, amabimini, amabuntur,
amatus sum, amatus es, amatus est, amatus sumus, amatus estis, amatus sunt,
amatus ero, amatus eris, amatus erit, amatus erimus, amatus eritis, amatus erint,
amatus eram, amatus eras, amatus erat, amatus eramus, amatus eratis, amatus erant...
and i won't even get into the verbal adjectives. because you take the stem, in this case am-, and give it another ending and then you decline it like you would an adjective, which would add another 25 words to that list.
sometimes i wonder if i made the right decision when i decided to take latin.
but i made the choice and i'm sticking to it.
