Study Notes
Types of Place Constructions
- Categories include Place to Which, Place from Which, and Place Where.
Place to Which (With Prepositions)
- Indicates motion towards or into a location.
- Commonly uses the prepositions "ad" or "in" with the accusative case.
Place to Which (Without Prepositions)
- Pertains to specific locations like cities, towns, and small islands.
- The terms "domus" (home) and "rus" (country estate) share this structural rule.
Place from Which (With Prepositions)
- Represents motion away from a location.
- Often utilizes prepositions "a/ab," "e/ex," or "de" with the ablative case.
Place from Which (Without Prepositions)
- Concerns departures from cities, towns, and small islands.
- "Domus" and "rus" adhere to the same grammatical structures as noted.
Place Where
- Signifies a stationary location (in/on/under).
- Typically expressed using "in" or "sub" with the ablative case.
The Locative Case
- Employed for cities, towns, small islands, "domus," and "rus" to indicate Place Where.
Forming the Locative (Singular)
- For 1st and 2nd declensions, the locative form mirrors the genitive singular.
- For 3rd declension nouns, the locative resembles the ablative case (and occasionally the dative case).
Forming the Locative (Plural)
- In all nouns, the locative case corresponds to the ablative plural form.
The Locative of Domus and Rus
- "Rus" uses the locative case identical to the dative form of 3rd declension: "ruri."
- "Domus" has a locative singular form: "domi."
