  3. 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.

  4. Ablative of Place Where • A 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 context

  5. aqua, aquae (f.) Aqua becomes ablative: aquā in aquā • Where is the boat?

  6. casa, casae (f.) Casa becomes ablative: casā in casā • Where is the girl?

  7. unda, undae (f.) Unda becomes ablative pl.: undis in undis • Where are the surfers?

  8. equus, equi (m.) Equus becomes ablative: equo in equo • Where is the man? Remember that “in” in Latin can also mean “on”

  9. carrus, carri (m.) Carrus becomes ablative: carro in carro • Where is the girl?

  10. Ablative of Means • An 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.

  11. Ablative of Means How does a cook stir the soup? with a spoon

  12. Ablative of Means How does the baseball player hit the ball? with a bat

  13. Ablative of Means How does the child color the picture? with crayons

  14. Ablative of Means • The 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!

  15. Examples! • Cibumcarroportamus. • We carry the food with a cart.

  16. Examples! • Romani Siciliampugnis occupant. • The Romans seize Sicily by battles.

  17. Examples! • Puellavitamequiciboservat. • The girl saves the life of the horse with food.

  18. 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.

  19. Dative vs. Ablative • Agricola equocibumdonat. • The farmer gives food to the horse. • We carry food with a cart. • Cibumcarroportamus. • Not “we carry food to/toward the cart”---that would be “Cibumad carrumportamus.”

  20. Things to Take Away from This Lesson • Ablatives use the endings –ā, -o, and –is. • Ablatives can show place where after the word in. • Puellaestincasā. The girl is in the house. • Ablatives can show “by means of” without using a word for “with” or “by.” • Puellavitamequiciboservat. The girl saves the life of the horse with food.
