In Latin, you don’t always need two words to form a complete sentence. The ending of a verb can provide a pronoun, so the quote attributed to Julius Caesar — "Veni, vidi, vici" — grammatically translates as "I came, I saw, I conquered." The following table shows verb endings and the pronouns they represent:
Singular | Plural |
---|---|
–o, –r, –m, –i = I | –mus, –mur = we |
–s, –ris, –isti = you (s.) | –tis, –mini = you (pl.) |
–t, –tur = he, she, it | –nt, –ntur = they |
