Remember Our Narrative Chain?Lots of ABS! The ABLATIVE case has many uses.
There are as many as
15
uses
for the ablative!This week we’ll learn 2: ablative of place where and ablative of means.Slide4
Ablative of Place WhereA very long name for a very easy concept!
It simply means that when you use the preposition “in” in Latin, the object of “in” has to be in the ablative case.
Remember that the Latin
word“in
” can mean “in” or “on” depending on the contextSlide5
aqua, aquae (f.)Where is the boat?
Aqua becomes ablative:
aquā
in
aquāSlide6
casa, casae (f.)Where is the girl?
Casa becomes ablative:
casā
in
casāSlide7
unda, undae (f.)Where are
the
surfers?
Unda
becomes ablative pl.:undisin undisSlide8
equus, equi (m.)Where is the man?
Equus
becomes ablative:
equo
in equoRemember that “in” in Latin can also mean “on”Slide9
carrus, carri (m.)Where is the girl?
Carrus
becomes ablative:
carro
in carroSlide10
Ablative of MeansAn ablative word can be used to express the instrument or means by which a person does something.This is called the ablative of means
.
In English, we have to say “by…” or “with…” to express the same thing.Slide11
Ablative of MeansHow does a cook stir the soup?
with a spoonSlide12
Ablative of MeansHow does the baseball player hit the ball?
with a batSlide13
Ablative of MeansHow does the child color the picture?
with crayonsSlide14
Ablative of MeansThe phrases with a spoon, with a bat, with crayons would be ablatives of means
in Latin.
The ablative of means does NOT use a Latin word for “with” or “by.” You have to add it in the English.
Remember that we had to add “of” when translating genitives, and “to” when translating datives. Same idea here!Slide15
Examples!Cibum carro
portamus
.
We carry the food
with a cart.Slide16
Examples!Romani Siciliam pugnis occupant.
The Romans seize Sicily
by battles
.Slide17
Examples!Puella vitam equi
cibo
servat
.The girl saves the life of the horse with food.Slide18
Dative vs. Ablative…How Can I Tell?You’ll notice some endings are the same for dative and ablative.Remember: an ablative of means is
usually
a THING, not a person or animal. Use “by” or “with” for these.
If there’s a light bulb verb in the sentence (giving, showing, telling), then it may be a dative like we learned earlier. Use “to” with these.Slide19
Dative vs. AblativeAgricola equo cibum
donat
.
The farmer gives food to the horse.We carry food with a cart.Cibum carro portamus.Not “we carry food to/toward the cart”---that would be “Cibum ad carrum portamus.”Slide20
Things to Take Away from This LessonAblatives use the endings
–
ā
, -o,
and –is.Ablatives can show place where after the word in.Puella est in casā. The girl is in the house.Ablatives can show “by means of” without using a word for “with” or “by.”Puella vitam equi cibo servat. The girl saves the life of the horse with food.
