111 Learning Journal #2

[Daniel Matthew Kunath]

In these past few weeks, Smaragda and I discussed the different endings attached to words to signify size or quality. These include endings to show whether the noun were a place where something is found, a place where there is a lot of something, large, or small. These would be simple enough, except that there are several endings for each of these, and each of these changes by case, number, and gender, adding up to several hundred endings to modify nouns. These took some remembering, but I’ve gotten a decent grasp on general endings, so it hasn’t been too bad, especially since I was already familiar with some of the ones which meant “little”. However, we’ve also started covering pronouns. There are hundreds more of these to learn, even just scratching the surface, so I’m a bit concerned as to how well I’ll be able to handle those.
