UNIT 4
LATIN VERBS
Latin verbs (and verbs in general) have the following five characteristics:
1. Person refers to the subject of the verb. In Active Voice it refers to the subject which is performing the action. In Passive Voice it refers to the subject who receives the action 1st person I, we, 2nd person you, you (plural), 3d person he/she/it, they.
2. Number shows the number of subjects (singular or plural).
3. Tense refers to the time of the action denoted by the verb. There are six
tenses in the Latin language. Only Present tense is used in medical contexts.
4. Mood refers to the manner of indicating the action or state of the verb. Latin
has three moods:
the Indicative (governs facts), the Imperative (which governs orders and request), Subjunctive (deals with hypothesis/potentiality and subordination).
5. Voice refers to whether the subject receives the action or performs the ac-
tion. Latin verbs have two voices: Active and Passive.
6. Verb conjugation. There are 4 verb conjugations in Latin.
Infinitive
Verb conjugation
Endings
I
-āre (curāre)
II
-ēre (miscēre)
III
-ĕre (solvĕre)
IV
-īre (audīre)
To find the stem of the verb one has to remove the ending -re from the infini-
tive of the verbs of the I, II, and IV conjugations, and the ending -ĕre from the verbs of the III conjugation. E.g. curāre, miscēre, solvĕre, audīre.
Imperative Mood of Latin Verbs
The imperative mood is used when a person asks or orders someone do some-
thing. In English there is only singular form of the imperative mood. In Latin the im­perative mood is used both in singular and plural forms.
28
The singular form of the verbs in the Imperative mood is derived by the re-
moval of the ending -re from the infinitive of the verbs of all conjugations.
The plural form of the verbs in the Imperative mood is derived by the addition
of the ending -te to the stems of the verbs of the I, II, IV conjugations, and the ending
-ite to the stem of the verb of the III conjugation.
Verb conjugation
Singularis
Pluralis
I
-a (cura)
-ate (laborate)
II
-e (misce)
-ete (miscete)
III
-e (solve)
-ite (solvite)
IV

-ite (audite)
In Latin the verb in the Imperative mood is followed by a noun in the Accusa-
tive case. E.g. Mix the substances Misce substantias.
Listen to the patient. Audi aegrotam.
And the Dative case is used when one names the person to whome he gives
something. E.g. Give the herb to the pharmacist. Da herbam pharmaceutae.

CLINICAL TERMS
Clinical terms include a great variety of specialized words which doctors use
when they deal with the patients’ diseases, when they administer treatment and diag­nostic procedures. Clinical terminology includes the names of` symptoms and signs, diseases and disorders, disorders of physiological functions, structural changes in or­gans and tissues, diagnosis, treatment and prophylaxis of diseases, as well as the names of different medical fields and medical professionals.
Most of the clinical terms are one-word. However, each clinical term consists
of several parts. Each part is referred to as a term-element (prefixes, roots, suffixes).
