Question

Can someone please tell me how do make an indirect statment in latin? Also an indirect question?
tnaks so much

Answer 1

Cool:
They are ways of using subordinate clauses to say or report something that another person said. For example, if I were to report what he asked, I would say "he asked 'what was wrong with me' ", for example. That's an indirect question because of the "what". If I had reported it as "he asked that I move out of his way," it would be indirect statement, because it has "that" instead of "what."
Its a circuitous way of saying something directly, but adds literary flourish to the sentence (don't do it when translating from Latin to English). These appear fairly commonly in Latin rhetoric.
The difference is that I.S. doesn't require subjunctive, and I.Q does.
Ways to form them:
infinitive + accusative (subject) + any other tag-ons, other accusatives, ablatives, datives, etc.
The first 2 are prerequisites for indirect statements, and are usually preceded by a verb of asking, persuading, like rogo, persuadeo, (wheelock has a good list).
e.g.
Poscit Carthaginem delectus esse.
He demanded that Carthage was destroyed.

IQ is Main V + (connecting word) + clause in subjunctive.
connecting word = usually a form
I'll nuance my previous ex.
Poscit quid delectus sit.
He asked what was destroyed.

Answer 2

See Chapters 25 and 30 of Wheelock's Latin, or perhaps your class notes.

Hint: In indirect statement, put the second subject in the accusative, and change the verb to an infinitive. Example:
Magister dixit Iuliam esse discipulam bonam.

In indirect question, put the verb in the subjunctive mood. Example:
Rogant quid Gaius faciat.

Answer 3

humorous question, and considerable too.. The Latin language of the Roman Empire misplaced out to new languages by potential of indigenous populations not Latin or replaced into so-called "Latinate" languages--French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Catalan etc. It became final used b government officers and priests and the use became replaced in maximum areas by potential of English, German, the vulgate or oftentimes-used varieties, etc. it fairly is tough on latins, yet there are people who until learn it and used it--it ought to be the main oftentimes happening lifeless language on planet Earth. i wish it on no account dies; i'm going to learn it alongside with Homeric Greek in my next lifetime. thank you for asking. superstar coming.
