Latin: Ablative Case?

Question

How do you use the ablative case (especially with the personal pronouns, "me", "te", "nobis", "vobis", and "se")? It would be great if you could show an example.

Thanks. :)

Answer 1

The ablative case is used a lot with prepositions - the word for with is combined with the personal pronouns, as in Dominus vobiscum (the Lord be with you).

Other common uses (I took these from a grammar):
Agent--used after a passive verb
Ab magistro laudatus sum - I was praised by the teacher

Instrument--used without preposition (by, by means of, with)
Hasta vulneratus est - he was wounded by a spear

Manner--to indicate how an action is performed
Summa c*u*m celeritate Romam venerunt - they came to Rome with all speed

Cause--to indicate why an action takes place
Fame periunt - they died of hunger

Description--used with an adjective to describe an external or physical feature
Vir nigra barba - a man with a black beard
navis alto malo - a ship with a high mast

There are many other uses of the ablative as well. Place, time, separation, comparison, after certain adjectives and verbs, to express price, and of course I must not forget the abaltive absolute.

Answer 2

you have have been given it exceedingly plenty! I tell human beings (whilst the undertaking comes up) that this is used using fact the article of a few prepositions yet is likewise especially circumstances used on my own in structures wherein a preposition is known or implied. The ablative of potential and the ablative of gadgets do no longer want a preposition--one only fights "gladio." The ablative of agent,on the different hand, makes use of one--one is enjoyed "ab amico." Then of path there is the ablative absolute, which has to encompass a minimum of two words if so. "Pedibus nudis," the army marched. The ablative absolute must be translated as "with baere ft' or "besides the reality that their ft have been bare" or probably a number of different procedures.
