Latin I U Lesson 6/7 Translate

Translation tips

Nominatives - must agree with the verb to be the subject; usually come first in a sentence

e.g., Fortuna puelleae est magna.
(Does puellae agree with est?)

e.g., Puella pecuniam conservat.
(Does puella agree with est?)

Translation tip

Genitives - a genitive noun describes other nouns and come IMMEDIATELY after the noun being describes; genitives therefore cannot come first in a clause

e.g., Puellae pecuniam conservant.
(Can puellae be genitive? What word would it describe?)

e.g., Philosophia puellae est bona.
(Can puellae be genitive? What word would it describe?)

Translation tip

Datives- almost always require a giving, showing, or telling verb (in order to transfer the direct object to an indirect object)

Compare:

Pecuniam puellae damus.

Vita puellae est bona.

Translation tip

Accusatives- can and DO come first in the sentence when there is no stated subject

e.g. Pecuniam amamus.
(Is pecuniam the subject?)

Pecunia nihil est.
(Is pecunia the subject?)

Translation tip

Ablatives- if there's a preposition in Latin, translate it! Otherwise, supply the word "with" or "by" in English

e.g., Vita sine fortunā non est bona.
(should you supply "with/by" here or not?)

e.g., Ignem aquā extinguimus. 
(should you supply "with/by" here or not?)

Fortuna puellae est magna.
