  1. Latin Grammar Indirect Reflexives in Indirect Statement negō with Indirect Statement (Grammar 4A, pp. 202-03)

  2. The Reflexive Prounon — sē suī sibi sē

  3. Direct Reflexives • A direct reflexive pronoun refers back to the subject of its own clause. • Both English and Latin have direct reflexives. Marcus sēamat. Marcus loves himself.

  4. Direct Reflexives Marcus estsibiodiō. Marcus is a source of hatred to himself.

  5. Indirect Reflexives • In addition to direct reflexives, Latin has indirect reflexives. • English does not have these. • An indirect reflexive is a reflexive in a subordinate clause that refers not to the subject of its own clause but to the subject of a main clause. • Don’t worry if you don’t get this terminology. You’ll understand by example.

  6. Indirect Reflexives Marcus scitIūliamsēamāre. Marcus knows that Julia loves herself. Marcus scitIuliamsēamāre Marcus knows that Julia loves him. Direct Reflexive Indirect Reflexive

  7. Indirect Reflexives • In fact, indirect reflexives are mandatory! Marcus knows that Julia loves him. Marcus scitIūliamsēamāre Marcus scitIūliameumamāre. NOT Marcus Marcus

  8. Indirect Reflexives • Another example: Marcus says that he will leave. Marcus dīcitsēabitūrumesse. Marcus dīciteumabitūrumesse. NOT Marcus Marcus

  9. negō • For some strange reason, Latin does not like to say things like: Bill said that Mary did not eat. • Instead it says: Bill deniedthat Mary ate. • So Latin doesn’t like to say: “say…not.” • Instead, it uses the Latin word for “deny.” Bill saidthat Mary did not eat.

  10. negō • The word for “deny” in Latin is nēgō (1). Marcus says that Julia doesn’t love him. Marcus negatIūliamsēamāre.
