Further comparison of adjectives in -τερος, τατος Shelmerdine Chapter 22 1. Present middle/passive participles (1st principal part) • All participles in the middle voice have the marker -μεν-. • All participles in the middle voice use –ος –η –ον endings. • Thus to form the present middle participle, to the present stem, add –όμενος –ομένη –όμενον λυόμενος λυομένη λυόμενον Shelmerdine Chapter 22 1. Present middle/passive participles (1st principal part) 2. Aorist and future middle participles (2nd and 3rd principal part) 3. Aorist and future passive participles (6th principal part) 4. The genitive absolute 5. Further comparison of adjectives in -τερος, τατος Shelmerdine Chapter 22 2. Aorist and future middle participles (2nd and 3rd principal part) • • • All participles in the middle voice have the marker -μεν-. All participles in the middle voice use –ος –η –ον endings. Thus to form the future middle participle, to the future stem, add –όμενος –ομένη –όμενον λυσόμενος λυσομένη λυσόμενον Shelmerdine Chapter 22 2. Aorist and future middle participles (2nd and 3rd principal part) • • • All participles in the middle voice have the marker -μεν-. All participles in the middle voice use –ος –η –ον endings. Thus to form the 1st (weak) aorist middle participle, to the aorist stem, add –άμενος –αμένη –άμενον λυσάμενος λυσαμένη λυσάμενον Shelmerdine Chapter 22 2. Aorist and future middle participles (2nd and 3rd principal part) • • • All participles in the middle voice have the marker -μεν-. All participles in the middle voice use –ος –η –ον endings. Thus to form the 2nd (strong) aorist middle participle, to the aorist middle stem, add –ομένος –ομένη –ομένον λιπομένος λιπομένη λιπομένον Note that the accent remains fixed on the -μεν- marker.

Aorist and future passive participles (6th principal part) 4. The genitive absolute 5. Further comparison of adjectives in -τερος, τατος Shelmerdine Chapter 22 3. Aorist and future passive participles (6th principal part) • The aorist passive participle is somewhat different. • To the aorist passive stem, add -είς –εῖσα –έν (nominative singular endings) -ε- replaces -ο- in all the masculine/neuter, -ει- replaces -ου- in all the feminine but otherwise identical to the present active. λυθεῖς λυθεῖσα λυθέν κτλ. Remember, only the indicative has an augment, so the participle has no augment. Shelmerdine Chapter 22 3. Aorist and future passive participles (6th principal part) The future passive participle returns to the pattern for the middle voice • All participles in the middle voice have the marker -μεν-. • All participles in the middle voice use –ος –η –ον endings. • Thus to form the future passive participle, to the future passive stem, add –όμενος –ομένη –όμενον λυθησόμενος λυθησομένη λυθησόμενον Shelmerdine Chapter 22 • Summary of active participles – Present: present stem + –ων –ουσα –ον – Future: future stem + –ων –ουσα –ον – Aorist: • 1st (weak) aorist stem + –ας –ασα –αν • 2nd (strong) aorist stem + –ών –οῦσα –όν Shelmerdine Chapter 22 • Summary of middle participles – Present: present stem + –όμενος –ομένη –όμενον – Future: future stem + –όμενος –ομένη –όμενον – Aorist: • 1st (weak) aorist stem + –άμενος –αμένη –άμενον • 2nd (strong) aorist stem + –ομένος –ομένη –ομένον Shelmerdine Chapter 22 • Summary of passive participles – Present: present stem + –όμενος –ομένη –όμενον – Future: future passive stem + –όμενος –ομένη –όμενον – Aorist: aorist passive stem + –είς –εῖσα –έν Shelmerdine Chapter 22 1.

The genitive absolute 5. Further comparison of adjectives in -τερος, τατος Shelmerdine Chapter 22 4. The genitive absolute • • • You have seen how often Greek chains verbs together by making one or more of the verbs participles. Participles always modify their subjects, so a participle modifies whatever noun is its subject. If the subject-noun is not part of a sentence already, however, the problem arises: what case should the noun and participle be? Shelmerdine Chapter 22 4. The genitive absolute • • In this situation, there is sort of a default setting. If the subject-noun of the participle is not part of the main sentence, then both this noun and the participle by default go into the genitive case, called the genitive absolute (< Latin absolutus “cast off”). Translate the clause like any other circumstantial participle, but ignore the fact that it is genitive. Shelmerdine Chapter 22 4. The genitive absolute • For example: – ἀφίκοντο μὲν οἱ πολέμιοι, ἐκ δὲ τῆς πόλεως ἐλείπομεν. • – The enemy arrived, but we were already leaving the city. ἀφικομένων τῶν πολεμίων ἐκ τῆς πόλεως ἐλείπομεν. • When the enemy arrived, we were already leaving the city. Shelmerdine Chapter 22 1. Present middle/passive participles (1st principal part) 2. Aorist and future middle participles (2nd and 3rd principal part) 3. Aorist and future passive participles (6th principal part) 4. The genitive absolute 5. Further comparison of adjectives in -τερος, τατος Shelmerdine Chapter 22 5. Further comparison of adjectives in -τερος, -τατος • Recall from Chapter 16.2 that “Comparison” of adjectives refers to forming the different degrees of adjectives – – – Positive degree is the regular form of the adjective • σοφός -ή -όν “wise” Comparative degree means the adjective has more of its quality than someone or something else • σοφώτερος -α -ον “wiser” Superlative degree means the adjective has the most of its quality • σοφώτατος -η -ον “wisest” Shelmerdine Chapter 22 5. Further comparison of adjectives in -τερος, -τατος • Recall from Chapter 16.2 that an ο or ω appears between the stem of the adjective and the τερ/τατ marker of change in degree. • Generally speaking, the length of this vowel is opposite that of the preceding vowel. • μωρότερος -α -ον σοφώτερος -α -ον long short • short long Since the comparative marker -τερ- ends in ρ, the feminine singular regularly will use α in place of η (like φίλιος -α -ον). Shelmerdine Chapter 22 5. Further comparison of adjectives in -τερος, -τατος • In Chapter 20, you learned some types of adjectives which use third declension endings. – – – • βαρύς βαρεῖα βαρύ “heavy” σόφρων –ον “prudent” εὐγενής –ές “well-born” In each case, the neuter nominative singular shows the stem of the adjective: – – – βαρύσόφρονεὐγενέσ- Shelmerdine Chapter 22 5. Further comparison of adjectives in -τερος, -τατος • Most 3rd declension adjectives add the usual -τερος, -τατος endings to form the comparative and superlative. – – – – – – – – εὐγενής –ές “well-born” εὐγενέσ- (stem) εὐγενέστερος –α –ον “more well-born” εὐγενέστατος –η –ον “most well-born” βαρύς βαρεῖα βαρύ “heavy” βαρύ- (stem) βαρύτερος –α –ον “heavier” βαρύτατος –η –ον “heaviest” Shelmerdine Chapter 22 5. Further comparison of adjectives in -τερος, -τατος • 3rd declension adjectives with stems in -ον add -εσbefore the usual -τερος, -τατος endings. – – – – σόφρων –ον “prudent” σόφρον- (stem) σοφρονέστερος –α –ον “more prudent” σοφρονέστατος –η –ον “most prudent” Shelmerdine Chapter 22 for tomorrow (Thursday, February 17, 2011): • Quiz: Write out the middle participle endings (-μενος, -μενη, -μενον, κτλ.) • Prepare “The Ingenuity of Cyrus” for class.
