  1. Chapter 35: Datives, Datives, Datives!

  2. The Dative So Far • How have we used the dative case so far? • Indirect Object • Dative of agent

  3. Datives with Adjectives • We’ve actually already seen this • Remember ‘par’ from the last chapter • Some adjectives take the dative case • These adjectives express qualities of relation/attitude/quality • Often, we use the English word ‘to’ after these adjectives anyways (equal to) • The BEST WAY to remember these adjectives is to memorize ‘to/for’ with your English definition

  4. Sample adjectives with the dative: • Similis- similar to • Fidēlis- faithful to • Amicus- friendly to • Cārus- dear to • Pār- equal to

  5. Examples Amor utilispulchrispuellisest. Love is useful for beautiful girls. Ego fidelistibi sum. I am faithfulto you. Caesar videturparesseduciillo. Caesar seems to be equal to that leader.

  6. Verbs that take the dative • We’re already seen this to! • Remember ignosco from the last chapter? • These verbs also tend to stress attitude/quality/relation • Most of these verbs are INTRANSITIVE (meaning they don’t take a direct object)- the dative case in this instance shows a relationship and is not a direct object • In translating these verbs into English, we can often use “to…” but there is usually a more colloquial translation that does not use “to…” Credo: to entrust to…; to believe… Nubo: to be married to…; to marry…

  7. Examples StudēteLatinae linguae! Direct your zeal to Latin! -or- Study Latin! Hoc eīs non placet. (vocab hint: think “placable”) This is not pleasing to them. -or- This does not please them. Variaerēshominibusnocent. (think “noxious”) Various things are harmful to men. -or- Various things harm men.

  8. Sample verbs that take the dative: • Remember to memorize ‘to’ in your English definition • Verbs that commonly take the dative are those that mean: to favor, help, harm, (dis)please, (dis)trust, believe, persuade, command, obey, serve, resist, envy, threaten, pardon, and spare • Credo, ignosco, impero, noceo, nubo, parco, pareo, persuadeo, placeo, servio, studeo

  9. Dative with Compound Verbs • Some verbs when compoundedwith ad, ante, con, in, inter, ob, post, prae, pro, sub, super, take a dative as direct object Sequoreum: I follow him Obsequoreī: I obey him • This usually applies when the meaning of the compounded verb is significantly different from that of the uncompounded verb • If the verb is transitive, it can have an accusative direct objectas well as a dative object: Praeposuieumexercitui: I put him in charge of the army Think of the acc. DO as the object of the verb base and the dat. obj. as the obj. of the prepositional prefix.

  10. Dative of possession • Again, something we’ve previewed already • Dative used with ‘sum’ to indicate possession Quid estnomentibi? Liber mihi est. Si umquamnobisfiliusest…
