Learn the Paternoster in Ecclesiastical Latin, Part 3. Welcome to Scola Sacre in the third part of our series. Learn the paternoster in ecclesiastical Latin. In this lesson, we will examine a short phrase from the Lord's Prayer. Sikutincello et intera. We will learn how to pronounce the phrase, examine the meaning of each word, and explore the grammar that allows us to understand it. The word chelo begins with the letters C and A.E. In ecclesiastical Latin, the letter C before A .E is pronounced, like the CH in the English word church. The diphthong A.E is pronounced like the vowel in the English word met. Listen carefully. Che. Now listen to the complete word, cello. Notice that the C has the sound of C-H, while A-E is pronounced like the vowel in Met. Let us apply this rule to the phrase we are learning today. Listen, as I pronounce the complete phrase, Sikut in cello, et in terra. Now it's your turn to practice. Listen to each word or phrase, and then repeat it aloud during the pause. I will say it first. Sikut. In et in terra. Let us say it once more, paying particular attention to the pronunciation of cello. Sikut in cello. et interra. Now that we have practiced the pronunciation, let us examine the meaning of the phrase. The phrase sikut in cello et interra may be translated, as in heaven and on earth. Let us begin with the first word, sikut. Sikut means as, or just as. It introduces a comparison. Next, we have in, which means in or on, depending on the context. The word cello means heaven, while terra means earth. Finally, et means and. We can summarize the vocabulary as follows. Sikut means as, in, in or on, Celo, heaven, et, and, and, Terra, earth. Together, these words form the phrase, Sikut in cello, et in terra, as in heaven, and on earth. Now let us examine the grammar. The preposition in can take either the accusative or the ablative case, depending on its meaning. When in expresses location, it takes the ablative case. The other word or words in the prepositional phrase will be in the ablative case. For example, in cello, in heaven. In Terra, on Earth. Notice the endings of these two nouns. Chelum is a second declension nuner noun. Its ablative singular form is cello. Terra is a first declension feminine noun. Its ablative singular form is Terra. The Macron or line over the final A and terra, indicates that the vowel is long. Although these nouns belong to different declensions, both forms are ablative singular, because they follow in to express, help us identify grammatical function, while the surrounding words help us understand how those forms are being used. Let us now return to the complete petition in the paternoster. Fiat Voluntas Tua, Sikut in cello, et in terra. Thigh will be done, as in heaven and on earth. Here, Sikut connects the doing of God's will on earth with the doing of His will in heaven. The phrase is brief, but it allows us to observe vocabulary, prepositions, and the ablative case within a familiar Catholic prayer. Let us read the phrase once more. Sikut in cello, et in terra. As in heaven, and on earth. Let us review what we have learned. Sikut means as, or just as. In cello means in heaven. Et means and. In terra means on earth. We have also learned that the letter C before A.E is pronounced like CH in the word church, and that cello et terra are ablative singular forms used within to express location. Let us finish by saying the phrase together one final time. Sikut in cello et intera. Subscribe to the channel. to finish learning the paternoster in ecclesiastical Latin.
