Wheelock XXIV Ablative Absolute Passive Periphrastic Dative of Agent
Now, the ablative absolute Rōmā vīsā, virī gaudēbant. (With) Rome having been seen, the men were rejoicing. Ablative Absolute Last chapter, we learned participles: Rōmam videntēs, virī gaudēbant.
Translating: hīs rēbus audītīs... (With) these things having been heard...* When/Since/After/etc. these things had been heard... Ablative Absolute Why is it called an ablative absolute? Ablative? Absolute?
Ablative Absolute Sometimes, the ablative absolute contains other words:Eō imperium tenente, ēventum timeō. With him holding the power, I fear the outcome. Sometimes, the participial form of sum is deleted, leaving just a noun-noun or noun-adjective combo. - Caesare duce, nihil timēbimus. - Caesare incertō, bellum timēbāmus.
GERUNDIVE + SUM Note: gerundive agrees with the subject (of sum) in gender, number, and case Passive Periphrastic Name: - Passive because it uses the passive voice (in fact, it uses the gerundive) - Periphrastic because it's more than one word
Translating: Puella amanda est. = The girl is to be loved. = The girl must be loved.* = The girl has to be loved.* Puella amanda erat. = The girl had to be loved. Passive Periphrastic A passive periphrastic conveys the idea of necessary and obligatory action. Hence, id faciendum est is not merely this is about to be done but rather this must be done
Dative of Agent Instead of ablative of agent, the dative of agent is used with the passive periphrastic construction. Literal translations would be super awkward... like more awkward than saying good-bye to someone and then walking the same way. Therefore, translate like it's ablative even though it's dative. Hic liber mihi legendus est. This book must be read by me.
