Wheelock XXXIV Deponent Verbs Ablative with Special Deponents
Deponent Verbs • Deponentverbs have passive endings but active meanings • The only new forms to be learned are the imperatives • You must remember which verbs are deponent
Deponent Verbs • Lack 4th principal part • hortor, hortārī, hortātus sum • See how they look passive? But they still mean: I urge, to urge, I urged
Pres: hortor, hortāris, hortātur... = I urge, you urge, he urges Imp: hortābar, hortābāris... = I was urging, you were urging... Fut: hortābor, hortāberis... = I will urge, you will urge Perf: hortātus/-a/-um sum... = I urged PluP: hortātus/-a/-um eram... = I had urged FuP: hortātus/-a/-um erō... = I will have urged Subjunctive Pres: horter, hortēris... Imp: hortārer, hortārēris... Perf: hortātus/-a/-um sim, sīs... PluP: hortātus/-a/-um essem...
Participles Pres. hortāns, urging Perf. hortātus/-a/-um, having urged* Fut. hortātūrus/-a/-um, about to urge Ger. hortāndus/-a/-um, to be urged N.B. Deponent verbs still have four participles. HOWEVER, - the "perfect passive participle" is active in meaning - the gerundive is actually passive in meaning! - the present and future have active forms
Infinitives Pres. hortārī, to urge Perf. hortātus/-a/-um esse, to have urged Fut. hortātūrus/-a/-um esse, to be about tourge Imperatives Singular: hortāre! (looks like the non-existent present active infinitive) Plural: hortāminī! (looks like 2nd pl. pres. indicative)
Semi-Deponents These exist... because language is crazy. audeō, I dareaudēre, to dareausus sum, Idared gaudeō, gaudēre, gāvīsus sum
Ablative with Special Deponents The ablative of means is used idiomatically with a few verbs. ūtor (to benefit oneself) is the most common (others: fruor, to enjoy, fungor, to perform, potior, to possess, vēscor, to eat) Ūtitur stilō. Idiomatically: He is using a pencil. *translate it as "use" and treat the abl. as direct object
Practice • What the heck is a deponent verb? • Write a 1st person plural synopsis of cōnor (six tenses of indicative, four subjunctive). • Write the imperativesof patior. • Translate the following participles: a) locūtus b) cōnātus c) secūtūrus
