Latin Catch-Up Day (Saturday Jan. 25)

Today is a catch-up day to review any lesson(s) you missed this past week and/or to work on whatever kind of practice is most useful to you. You will find the list of lessons below, plus a random cat. I've also listed all the sayings with first-declension genitives for you to look through. They are organized into groups based on sentence structure: 

genitive phrases where the genitive comes first (vitae sal = "life's salt, the spice of life"), 

  • Vitae sal amicitia.
  • Invidia est animae tinea.
  • Tempus est vitae magister.
  • Dubium sapientiae initium.
  • Rixa rixae causa est.
  • Senectus vitae hiems est.
  • Omnis ars naturae imitatio est.
genitive phrases where the genitive comes second (corona vitae = "the crown of life, life's crown"):

  • Mors corona vitae.
  • Historia magistra vitae.
  • Mors ianua vitae.
  • Ars est simia naturae.
  • Pigritia est pulvinar Satanae.
  • Finis miseriae mors est.
  • Maximum remedium irae mora est.
genitive phrases that are interwoven with other words:
  • Faber quisque fortunae suae est.
  • Incertus animus dimidium est sapientiae.
  • Avarus ipse miseriae causa est suae.
two genitive phrases in one saying:
  • Finis irae        initium est paenitentiae.
  • Est rota fortunae variabilis,      ut rota lunae.
  • Vitae brevis est cursus,      gloriae sempiternus.

And here are the lessons from this week; you can also see the complete list of lessons on its own page.
