[00:00:10]This particular pronoun or adjective is called intensive or intensifier because it stresses the word it modifies. It's not uncommon to translate it in English with the expressions in person, very or myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself depending on the reference. A very important thing to keep in mind is that despite the fact that we used the word self, this is not at all a reflexive pronoun. In order to illustrate this concept, let's look at two examples. When I reached the palace, I saw the king himself, meaning the king in person, the very king. This is an intensifier. After the loss, the king killed himself. This refers back to the subject. So, it is reflexive. With this now clarified, let's move on and look at the forms. They are not difficult to memorize, especially if you keep in mind that ips is fundamentally an adjective of the first class with a few modifications.

[00:01:10]IPS ipsa ipsum declines practically like illepsum ipsus ipsus ipsuse ipsy ipsy ipsy ipsum ipsum ipsum ipso IPS ipso ipsy ipsy IPSum ipsarum ipsorum ipsis ipsis ipsis ipsos ipsus ipsa ipsis ipsis ipsis Let's take a closer look and notice that one the genative and dative singular are the same in all three genders two the feminine singular and neuter plural look the same make Make sure you pay attention to the context in the sentence. Three, the plural declenion follows the same endings of the first class adjectives.

[00:02:17]Now we can see ips in some sentences.

[00:02:20]Nemo here describes consul.

[00:02:39]Here IPA describes the subject.

[00:02:47]Here ips describes the subject animus.

[00:02:58]Here however ipsum is intensifying the direct object dukemas.

[00:03:08]Here is one example in the dative case in agreement with ti an indirect object.

[00:03:17]Very powerful here referring to the subject miarisul.

[00:03:28]Here is one example in genative case in agreement with kaaris.

[00:03:33]Let's check comprehension.
