Latin verb paradigms

For the formation of the verb paradigms, see Latin conjugation. For the formation of the verb group paradigms, see Latin periphrases. For the free indications of occurrences, see Latin tenses (semantics).

An agreement paradigm is a set of verbs that are selected according to features such as the number, speech role and gender of event participants.

Number

Hic Caesarem videt. (He's seeing Caesar.)

Hī Caesarem vident. (They're seeing Caesar.)

Speech role

Ego Caesarem videō. (I'm seeing Caesar.)

Tū Caesarem vidēs. (You're seeing Caesar.)

Hic Caesarem videt. (He's seeing Caesar.)

Gender

Hic ā Caesare vīsus est. (He was seen by Caesar.)

Haec ā Caesare vīsa est. (She was seen by Caesar.)

Hoc ā Caesare vīsum est. (This was seen by Caesar.)

Paradigm names

For each verb entry in a dictionary, there are multiple such agreement paradigms as shown in the table below. The names of the paradigms are taken from Langenscheidt Dictionary, completed and adapted. The paradigms 'imperative indirect active', 'imperative indirect passive', 'supine genitive', 'supine dative' are not present in this dictionary because they are rare in the Classical Period, however they are accounted for in Grammar books and articles. The paradigms for 'supine accusative' and 'supine ablative' are called 'Supine I' and 'Supine II' in Langenscheidt dictionary, but often called 'supine accusative' and 'supine ablative' in articles when compared with the other two.

Rare supines

Some supines are rare, but they do occur althroughout the Classical Period. Following the pattern whereby supines combine with verbs of motion, we see two patterns: events taking place either where the motion starts or where it ends.

Events at origin

The genitive supine represents a creative event at the origin of motion.

• Quīque Sagittārī veniunt dē sīdere partūs.
  The Sagittarians come down from the star where they are born.

The ablative supine represents a transformative event at the origin of motion.

• Prīmus cubitū surgat, postrēmus cubitum eat.
  He is the first to come in from waking up and the last to go away to sleep.
