was always asking for things INDIRECTLY. The Noun Kingdom I love presents! The third daughter was Dottie Dative. Dottie was a beautiful girl. Everyone loved to give her presents and tell her secrets. Dottie was too much of a lady to ask for objects that she wanted but she was known to drop indirect hints on occasion. Dottie Dative was always asking for things INDIRECTLY. Everyone loved to GIVE her things, SHOW her things and TELL her things.

Dative Case: Indirect Objects A direct object receives the action of the verb. A direct object answers the question what? The girl tells a story. (story=direct object) An indirect object answers the question to whom? or for whom? an action is done. The girl tells the child a story. (child=indirect object) The girl tells a story to the child.

Find the Direct and Indirect Objects Find the Direct and Indirect Objects! Remember: the DO tells “what” , the IO tells “to or for whom” The soldier gave the men an order. The farmer tells the girls a story. The farmer showed the queen the land. WHAT? An order TO WHOM? The men WHAT? A story TO WHOM? The girls WHAT? The land TO WHOM? The queen

Indirect Objects Indirect objects often follow verbs of GIVING, SHOWING, or TELLING. Think of these verbs as “light bulb verbs.” When you see one in a sentence, a “light bulb” should go off in your brain: I should look for an indirect object!

Dative Case: Translation Words that end in dative endings can be translated with “to” or “for”. Case Singular Plural Nominative (subject) a ae Genitive (“of”) ae arum Dative (“to”/ “for”) ae is Accusative (direct obj.) am as Ablative a is Case Sg. Pl. Nom. (subject) us i Gen. (“of”) i orum Dat. (“to”/ “for”) o is Acc. (direct obj.) um os Abl. o is

Dative Case: Translation 2 ways to translate! Puella equo cibum donat. The girl gives the horse food. OR The girl gives food to the horse. Regina agricolae silvam monstrat. The queen shows the farmer the forest. OR The queen shows the forest to the farmer.

Dative versus “Ad” “ad” means “to, toward, near” “ad” is not the same “to” as the dative case “ad” is used to show motion toward something “ad” is followed by a noun in the accusative case Ad insulam navigabimus. We will sail to the island. (toward the island)

Datives are used with the light bulb verbs: GIVING, SHOWING, TELLING Nauta puellae litteras mandat. The sailor entrusts the letter to the girl. “Ad” is used to show motion toward something. Nauta ad puellam ambulat. The sailor walks to (toward) the girl.

Things to Remember… The dative case is the following endings: -AE, -O, -IS The dative case is translated with “to” or “for” The dative case is used for indirect objects Do not use “ad” (to, toward) with datives Light bulb verbs often use datives: giving, showing, telling
