Rule Number 32: The Double Dative and Dative of Purpose

The double dative is a peculiar beast seen only rarely in the wild. This use involves the dative of purpose (also discussed at length in this video) along with a dative of reference. The translation of the double dative is idiomatic at best, and literal at worst.

Rule Number 33: The Dative with Adjectives

The final use of the dative case in the 91 Rules series is when the dative is used after certain adjectives. This video covers which adjectives, and why it really makes sense from the meaning of the adjective itself.

Rule Number 28: The Dative of Possession

Without knowing it, you might have already used the dative of possession on your very first day of learning Latin. This video covers both this first use (mihi nomen est...) and other uses of this dative, including both literal and figurative (i.e., better) translations.

Rule Number 31: The Dative of Separation

Similar to both the ablative of separation and dative of reference is the dative of separation. This use of the dative case comes often with verbs prefixed with ab, dē, or ex, and is used with people.

Rule Number 30: The Dative of Reference

There are two big uses of the dative case - the dative as the indirect object and the dative of reference. This video looks at the latter, which we most commonly translate with as "for". This use of the dative differs significantly from the indirect object, which you will learn about in this video!

Rule Number 29: The Dative of Agent

The gerundive of obligation/passive periphrastic often requires the dative of agent (rather than the ablative) when identifying who must do the action. This dative is related to the dative of possession or reference.

Rule Number 27: The Dative of Compounds

A long time ago when I was in college, my professor noticed that I had trouble with compound verbs that take the dative, so he wrote on a slip of paper the following: ad, ante, con, in, inter, ob, post, prae, prō, sub, super, and sometimes circum and rē. Verbs compounded with these prefixes, where the meaning of the new verb changes significantly enough, take their object in the dative, rather than the accusative, case. This video explores this concept in greater detail.
