Latin word meaning hunger?
Yes. Comedere. It's the infinitive of the verb: to eat.Verbs in Latin conjugate in a variety of ways. There are four basic conjugations which are referred to as their four principle parts. Comedere is the 2nd principle part: the infinitive.Latin verbs also contain properties such as mood, voice, tense, participle.The word comedere is in the active voice, present tense, indicative mood. The basic active paradigm then is:Comedo I eatComedisyou eatComedithe/she/it eatsComedemus weeatComedetis you alleatComedent they eatSo if I write: comedo piscis. I am saying, "I eat fish." But if I want to say, "They ate fish," then I would have to write:Comedebant pisces. because I have changed the tense to imperfect (past) and thus the verb ending and noun case changes.
