What is the meaning of the dative?
1) It is the giving case - it name derives from (dō, datus). In this category if someone receives something they are in the dative (e.g. mihi aulam dat - he gives me the pot). However, it is also the losing case, if I take something from a person that person is in the dative (e.g. hominī aulam auferō - I take the pot from the man). The case thus refers to the advantaged or the disadvantaged by the action, the gainer or loser.
2) One part of the ‘advantage’ sense is possession (est mihi pecūnia - there is money to me).
3) The dative is also used to denote the person spoken to - i.e. the person who gains the words spoken (e.g. fēminae dīcit multa - he says many things to the woman).
What is the ablative of description?
