Latin Declensions (was Pround Mac26X owner)
Scotty (SV) asked: what's Latin for ''POS that doesn't belong on the ocean''? Alan Gomes responded with finesse: "Pars excrementi, quae non oportet esse in mari." Horvath interjected in a scholarly way: Close! "Mare." Alan Gomes, somewhat miffed, contradicted in this way: Nope. The ablative for "sea" is "mari," not "mare." --AG So I looked it up..... ....from About.com: Latin nouns of the third declension (such as mare) here are the consonantal endings. The endings of the Third declension masculine or feminine/neuter are singular nominative -/- genitive -is/-is dative -i/-i accusative -em/- ablative -e/-e plural nominative -es/-a genitive -um/-um dative -ibus/-ibus accusative -es/-a ablative -ibus/-ibus Using rex, regis, m. (king), here is the paradigm: singular Nominative - rex Genitive - regis Dative - regi Accusative - regem Ablative - rege Locative regi or rege Vocative rex The facts speak in favor of Horvath, it appears for the ablative. Perhaps Gomes had in mind the locative? Brian Whatcott Altus OK |

Horvath, in w/ acc: direction in w/ abl: location = Ablative. If you throw something in marem, then it in mare est. Don't know about the -i locativ. And, btw, "piece of" does not translate to "Pars something-i".

And "esse" should have been in the back. I'm Horvath and I approve of this post. Brian's comment: I wasn't miffed. Honest....:-) Anyway, the way I wrote it was correct. It is "in mare." "In" as a preposition with a noun in the ablative case can (among its possible meanings) mean "on." Though with a Mac 26X it could well be that it's meaning with the accusative ("into") could work also. ;-) "Mari" is the ablative for "sea." This word does not follow the normal 3rd declension pattern for ablatives. (If my memory serves me, this is called an "i-stem" noun, but my Latin grammar is not in front of me as I write this and I am going by memory.) Vale, Alan |

Perhaps Gomes had in mind the locative? Brian Whatcott Altus OK Brian, I replied to the rest of this elsewhere. But I did not intend the locative. But if I had, it would still be "mari," since I think the locative follows the same endings as the dative, and the dative for mari is the same form as is the ablative for mari. Cheers, Alan |

Esse could be at the end, though it need not be. --AG |
