"Pars excrementi, quae non oportet esse in mari." Close! "Mare." Nope. The ablative for "sea" is "mari," not "mare." You said, "in Mari," the "in" puts it in the accusative case, not ablative. 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 Dang! How embarrassing to have to correct the above typo. Correct the above to read, "Anyway, the way I wrote it was correct. It is "in mari," not "in mare." Sorry, AG |
