21.11.24: Level 1; review; practice in the cases; 3rd declension nouns [6]: proverbs, quotations and sayings; notes [2]

vēritās, vēritātis [3/f]: truth

all 3rd declension nouns ending in -tās are feminine and they all form their stem in the same way:

vēritās, vēritāt¦is

lībertās, lībertātis [3/f]: freedom; liberty

tempestās, tempestātis [3/f]: storm

in vīnō vēritās: in wine [there is] truth

A bunch of Mediaeval drunks: I’m not sure what “truth” the gentleman in the first image wants out of her, but she doesn’t seem too happy about it!

And, judging by some of the other images, getting wasted on wine may have made people not so much truthful, but stupid!
