Gaudeo, gaudere, gavisus sum, second conjugation and semi-deponent: active in the present system, passive in form but active in meaning in the perfect. So gaudeo, "I rejoice", but gavisus sum for "I rejoiced". There is no gaudui, and writing one is the standard error.
Four constructions are worth having ready: a bare ablative for the thing enjoyed (gaudere victoria), quod with the indicative for a stated fact, an accusative and infinitive for a reported one, and in with the ablative in Christian Latin, which is a Greek and Hebrew pattern rather than a classical one. The noun is gaudium; French joie and English joy both descend from it, as does the Gaudete of the third Sunday in Advent.
