Spotting the consonantal I in Latin is easy when you think about English derivatives! 🏛️

In English, the consonantal I often becomes J:
Reiectus → reject.
Coniungo → conjugal.
Conicio → conjecture.
Peior → pejorative.
Maior → major.
This transformation highlights the consonantal I, pronounced like y in Latin (coniungo → conjugal). From Latin to English, the consonantal I plays a key role! 🌟 #LearnLatin #LatinGrammar #Etymology
