Smile Another Adeste question

Why is it "Adeste" for Come then "Venite" for Come in the next part of the song?

Nanci,

[I]Adeste[/I] is the imperative plural of [I]adsum, adesse, adfui[/I], which is means [I]to attend, be present[/I]. [I]Venite[/I] is the imperative plural of [I]venio, venire, veni, ventum[/I], which means [I]to come[/I]. These are only slight differences in meaning but they really add to the richness of [I]Adeste Fideles[/I].

classical4mom,


[QUOTE]Just wondering what your academic background is[/QUOTE] I was homeschooled K-12 (not classically, however). That's about it!


[QUOTE]you know so much about Classical Education![/QUOTE] Thanks for the compliment! Actually, most of my knowledge has to do with Latin. I really don't have any experience with the other elements of classical education--the knowledge I do have is gained from reading about it.


Maria
