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_ /no:men, no:minis\, n., _name_ (nominate) /oculus, -i:\, m., _eye_ (oculist) /pri:stinus, -a, -um\, _former, old-time_ (pristine) /pu:blicus, -a, -um\, _public, belonging to the state;_ /re:s pu:blica, rei: pu:blicae\, f., _the commonwealth, the state, the republic_ /vesti:gium, vesti:'gi:\, n., _footprint, track; trace, vestige_ /vo:x, vo:cis\, f., _voice_ _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\.
