| The ablative without a preposition is used to describe a
noun in. It is often paired with an adjective as well. This is
the only adjectival ablative use and does not require a preposition in Latin.
Here are some examples:
est puer magno ingenio, "he is a boy of great ingenuity", "magno ingenio" describes the boy. puella summa virtute, "a girl of the highest virtue". vir parva prudentia, "a man of little prudence". |
