pronoun _that_ (yonder);
_he, she, it_
/invi:sus, -a, -um\, _hateful, detested_, with dative Cf. Sec. 143
/iste, ista, istud\, demonstrative pronoun, _that_ (of yours);
_he, she, it_
/li:berta:s, -a:tis\, f., _liberty_
/modus, -i:\, m., _measure; manner, way, mode_

_290._ We have already learned the declension of the demonstrative
pronoun /is\ and its use. (Cf. Lesson XVII.) That pronoun refers to
persons or things either far or near, and makes no definite reference to
place or time. If we wish to point out an object definitely in place or
time, we must use /hic\, /iste\, or /ille\. These demonstratives, like
/is\, are used both as pronouns and as adjectives, and their relation to
the speaker may be represented graphically thus:
hic iste ille
SPEAKER ------------->-------------->--------------->
_this_, _he_; _that_, _he_; _that_, _he_
(near); (remote); (more remote)
_a._ In dialogue /hic\ refers to a person or thing near the speaker;
/iste\, to a person or thing near the person addressed; /ille\, to a
person or thing remote from both. These distinctions are illustrated
in the model sentences, Sec. 293, which should be carefully studied
and imitated.
_291._ /Hic\ is declined as follows:
SINGULAR
MASC. FEM. NEUT.
Nom. hic haec hoc
Gen. huius huius huius
Dat. huic huic huic
Acc. hunc hanc hoc
Abl. ho:c ha:c ho:c
PLURAL
Nom. hi: hae haec
Gen. ho:rum ha:rum ho:rum
Dat. hi:s hi:s hi:s
Acc. ho:s ha:s haec
Abl. hi:s hi:s hi:s
_a._ /Huius\ is pronounced _h[oo]'y[oo]s_, and /huic\ is pronounced
_h[oo]ic_ (one syllable).
_292._ The demonstrative pronouns /iste\, /ista\, /istud\, and /ille\,
/illa\, /illud\, except for the nominative and accusative singular
neuter forms /istud\ and /illud\, are declined exactly like /ipse\,
/ipsa\, /ipsum\. (See Sec. 481.)
