Savēte, sodālēs.
There is just one last thing we need to cover before we complete Capitulum Septimum, the question word and relative pronoun cui.
Mārcus rosam Iūliae dat. Cui rosam dat? Iūliae rosam dat. Marcus is giving a rose to Julia. Who is he giving a rose to? He is giving a rose to Julia.
Mārcus rosam Quīntō dat. Cui rosam dat? Quintō rosam dat. Marcus is giving a rose to Quintus. Who is he giving a rose to? He is giving a rose to Quintus.
Cui is datīvus singulāris and is the same for all three genders.
from Handy Latin Tables Pars Secunda. Donum, by the way, means gift.
Cui is also the datīvus singulāris relative pronoun.
Puella cui Mārcus rosam dat est Iūlia. The girl to whom Marcus is giving a rose is Julia.
Puer cui Mārcus rosam dat est Quintus. The boy to whom Marcus is giving a rose is Quintus.
The plurālis form of cui will be introduced in a future chapter.
Now READ Capitulum Septimum, lines 101-104. Congratulations! You have completed Capitulum Septimum.
Satis est. See you again soon.
