Latin Tenses and Moods in Latin

In particular, the terms:
Present
Imperfect
Future
Perfect
Pluperfect
Future Perfect
Imperative
Indicative
Subjunctive
Active
Passive

Re: Latin Tenses and Moods in Latin
I found something online, but it is not complete.
How would you translate:
Present Active Imperfect
?
I guess those would all be adjectives with Tense as the understood substantive?

Not willing to rely on my faulty memory and steer you wrong since I honestly can't say I've studied this in depth, as I said I'm much more at home in Greek but: Samantha Schad - A Lexicon of Latin Grammatical Terminology.

John Traupmann, Conversational Latin for Oral Proficiency, Ch. xxv: Grammar, pp.218-247.
I'm writing in Latin hoping for correction, and not because I'm confident in how I express myself. Latinè scribo ut ab omnibus corrigar, non quod confidenter me exprimam.

Libenter // You're welcome
Tempus praesens imperfectum modo indicativo vocis activae ["generis activi" pro "vocis activae" secundum Traupmann at ego "vocis activae" praefero]--primae vel secundae vel tertiae personae pluraliter vel singulariter [vel numeri pluralis vel singularis]
Verbs have tense, mood, voice, and caseless person = verbum est pars orationis cum tempore atque modo et voce personâque sine casu.pster wrote:How would you translate:

Re: Latin Tenses and Moods in Latin
That is more words than I want. Here is what I want. Suppose you were to set up an appendix in your own Latin book, and suppose one table was titled "Perfect Indicative Active". Now what would that be in Latin? Actually, I don't need the Latin. I can figure it out if I could figure out what the parts of speech are for "Perfect", "Indicative", and "Active" and what if anything they are modifying. I suggested in this table in this appendix that they would be three adjectives modifying an implied noun "Tense", but I'm not sure. Another possibility, as you are suggesting, is that they would all be adjectives but modifying different implied nouns; but as those different implied nouns have different genders, the adjectives would all have different genders despite standing side by side. Just imagine I am writing a Latin grammar book in Latin.
Gnarly and pedantic, but I actually need to know!
Thanks

Re: Latin Tenses and Moods in Latin
Couldn't we just regard them as three adjectives modifying "Conjugation"?
[Conjugātio] Fŭtūra Indicātīva Actīva
How does that look for an appendix table title? The bracketed word would not appear.

Re: Latin Tenses and Moods in Latin
Modern English speakers will understand "Perfectum indicativum activum" for "Perfect Indicative Active Tense". Strictly I don't think that's wonderful but it's used, I believe. You need more words, I think, for a pure latin, but that's just an opinion.pster wrote:That is more words than I want. Here is what I want.

Ei qui anglicè loquuntur sic vertant "[Tempus] Perfectum indicativum activum [tempus]" vel modernè dicitur at, nisi fallor, latina langua pura ampliùs requirit: Perfectum Tempus Indicativus Modus Activa Vox.
Conjugatio [vel declinatio et verbis et nominibus pro conjugationis vocabulo ] = prima, secunda, tertia, quarta.

Re: Latin Tenses and Moods in Latin
As verbum = "word", what is the Latin for "verb", to distinguish from other sorts of word?

Re: Latin Tenses and Moods in Latin
verbum = anglicè et verb et word
vocabulum = anglicè word at non verb
vocabulum = anglicè word at non verb
