Jargon
pronoun - a word that takes the place of a noun
·         e.g. Joe saw Jill and he waved at her.
o    he takes the place of Joe
o    her takes the place of Jill

personal pronoun - I, you, he, she, and it are personal pronouns
·         these pronouns take other forms depending on the number and case
o    i.e. we and me are also examples of personal pronouns (forms of the pronoun “I”)
·         see p. 149 for a limited list of personal pronouns

Notes: Dative case
  • the dative case form of ego (I) is mihi (to/for me)
    • e.g. frater mihi statuam ostendit.
    • My brother shows a statue to me.
  • the dative case form of (you) is tibi (to/for you)
    • e.g. pater tibi pecuniam dat.
    • Your father gives money to you.

Colloquium (conversation)
  • several important conversational Latin phrases have dative personal pronouns:
  • My name is = mihi nōmen est
  • Please = sī tibi placet
  • Thank you = tibi grātiās agō
  • May I go to the bathroom? = licetne mihi īre ad latrīnam?*
    • Now that you know this Latin phrase I will expect you to use it when you would like to go to the restroom.

Notes
·         cīvēs erant īrātī quod bēstiāriī leōnēs nōn petīvērunt.
o   Write one way you can tell that leōnēs is accusative in this sentence.
§  bēstiāriī is nominative and must be the subject
·         leōnēs could be either nominative or accusative, but bēstiāriī is only nominative. Therefore, if you are choosing which is the subject and which is the direct object, bēstiāriī must be the subject and leōnēs must be the direct object.
§  leōnēs is closest to the verb petīvērunt
·         remember that in Latin the subject is usually at the beginning of a clause (like bēstiāriī here) and the direct object is usually directly before the verb

Jargon
Dative case - “the giving case;” translate with to or for + the noun/adjective
·         e.g. Quīntus servō pecūniam dedit.
o    Quintus gave money to the slave.
·         Derived from the Latin word do, dare, dedi, datus - give
  • a sentence with a dative word will usually have a verb of giving, showing, telling, or entrusting
    • mercātor fēminīs togās ostendit.
      • The merchant showed togas to the women.
  • the word in the dative case is almost always a person/people
    • Quīntus ancillae signum dedit.
    • Quintus gave a signal to the slave girl.

Indirect object - the person(s) to or for whom an action is done
·         It is related to the action indirectly.
·         e.g. I gave a gift to my friend.
·         In Latin, the dative case is used for the indirect object.

Notes: Dative case
  • I give the present to Sally.
    • What is the subject? I
    • What case would that be? Nominative

    • What is the direct object? present
    • What case would that be? Accusative

    • What is Sally’s function?
      • Indirect object
  • I throw the ball to the students.
    • What is the subject? I

    • What is the direct object? ball

    • What is the indirect object? students
  • I made dinner for my family.
    • What is the subject? I

    • What is the direct object? dinner

    • What is the indirect object? family
·         Nota Bene: You cannot rely on English word order.
·         e.g. I made my family dinner.
o    Did I cook my family?
