III. The 2nd group of adjectives

Into this group fall adjectives of the 3rd declension. The adjectives of the 2nd group are the adjectives of the frontālis type:

Masculine

Feminine

Neuter

Nominative

frontālis

frontālis

frontāle

Genitive

frontālis

As indicated in the table the adjectives of this group have identical Nominative masculine and feminine forms ending in –is and the neuter ending –e. The Genitive form is identical for all genders.

Their dictionary form consists of two components:

  1. the common masculine and feminine Nominative form;

  2. the neuter ending –e.

E.g.: frontālis, e (frontal); cervicālis, e (cervical).

The stem of the 2nd group adjectives is obtained from the Nominative form by removing the gender ending:

  • vertebrālis

stem: vertebrāl-

  • temporālis

stem: temporāl-

IV. The 2nd group adjectives of one form for all genders

In the anatomical terminology some adjectives of one form for all genders are used. In the dictionary form of such adjectives the Nominative form (common for all genders) is first indicated, and then the Genitive ending with the stem part.

Remember these adjectives:

  • simplex, ĭcis

simple

  • multĭplex, ĭcis

multiple

  • teres, ětis

round

The stem of such adjectives is obtained from the Genitive form singular by removing the ending.

V. Agreement of adjectives and nouns

To agree a noun and an adjective means to use them in the same Gender, Number and Case.

To agree a noun and an adjective you should:

  1. determine gender, number and case of the noun;

  2. determine group of the adjective by its dictionary form;

  3. agree the adjective and the noun by gender, number and case.

For example, you translate from English into Latin the following anatomical terms: mastoid process, vertebral foramen.

  • Process – processus: gender - masculine, singular, Nominative. Mastoid – mastoiděus, a, um: adjective of the 1st group. We agree the adjective mastoiděus in the masculine gender, singular number, Nominative case: processus mastoiděus.

  • Foramen – forāmen: neuter, singular, Nominative. Vertebral – vertebrālis, e: adjective of the 2nd group. We agree the adjective vertebrālis in the neuter gender, singular number, Nominative case: forāmen vertebrāle.
