The Dative Case: Dative of Indirect Object

The Dative Case – Indirect Object the indirect object is shown through a noun in the dative case indirect object: the person or thing to or for whom/which something is said, given, shown, or done translate using to or for after verbs of giving, showing, saying, or telling, e.g.: to give: dō, dare, dedī, datus to show: monstrō, monstrāre, monstrāvī, monstrātus to say: dicō, dicere, dīxī, dictus to tell: nārrō, nārrāre, nārrāvī, nārrātus

Dative of Indirect Object In English, we usually omit the preposition to or for I will give misbehaving students misdemeanor marks. I will give misdemeanor marks to misbehaving students. I.O. usually comes before the D.O. in Latin can be translated before or after the D.O. e.g.: Fīliae meae fabūlam dē bellō nārrābō. I will tell my daughter a story about the war. I will tell a story about the war to my daughter.

Dative of Indirect Object N.B.: do not confuse the dative of I.O. with the accusative of PTW acc. of PTW requires a verb of motion dat. of I.O. comes after verbs of giving, showing, saying, or telling Dōnum puellae dabō. Aquam ad puellam portābō.

Dative of Indirect Object – Practice Identify the D.O. and I.O., then translate: Nauta puerō aquam dat. Equīs frūmentum dabāmus. Fīliō bonō dōna multa dabunt. Agricolae fēminae fabūlam nārrant.
