What's the difference between the two Latin sentences?

1) Et pecūniam et corōnās poētīs dōnābis.


2) Et pecūniā et corōnīs poētās dōnābis.


I can hardly work out how they differ from each other. I translated the first as "You will give the poets both punishment and wreaths", but the translation of the second one seems to be "You will present the poets with both punishment and wreaths". But what on earth is the difference between the two?

What's the difference between the two Latin sentences?
There is a difference in declension:





In the first sentence, pecūniam and corōnās are in the accusative case: they are the direct objects. Poētīs is dative (well spotted, JJ), because it is receiving money and wreaths. That sentence would be translated 'you(S) will give both money and wreaths(Direct Object) to the poets(Indirect Objects).'





Dōnāre can, as you pointed out, be also translated as 'present,' but for this to happen, a change of cases is neccesary. In the sentence, 'you will present the poets with both money and wreaths,' the poets becomes accusative and the direct object (poetas), whereas money and wreaths, because they become indirect objects, turn into the dative (pecūniā et corōnis.)





I hope that this clarified the difference between the two.





(P.S. If you wanted to substitute 'punishment' for 'money' in these sentences, the first would use 'poenam' and the second would use 'poena.'








Best wishes,





C.s.
Reply:The first one is " You will give the poets (dative) money and wreaths ( both accusative).


In the second sentence the dative is turned into an accusative, which means the thing(s) given, and the datives which denote the person/thing being given to, turn into an accusative.


So the second one has to be translated as " You will give poets to the money and the wreaths.
Reply:I think the first one is "And you will give money and garlands/crowns to (the) poets." I can't figure out the second one.





EDIT: Just seen C-S's reply - great! One small point, poetis is in the DATIVE case, not the ablative, being indirect object. Poetis is both dative and ablative plural or poeta.
Reply:Is it one spanish and one portuguese?


they have similar words..
Reply:I'm not sure, but doesn't pecunia mean money (as in pecunia non olet - Money doesn't smell)?


punishment would be poena, right.

Lycopodium Management


by Elizabeth Nauertz, USDA Forest Service and Colleen Matula, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources:





Introduction and Background


Lycopodium, or club moss, species occur relatively frequently in northern hardwood forests (Curtis, 1959; Kotar, Kovach, and Locey, 1988). Lycopodium comes from the Greek words "luko" (wolf) and "podos" (foot); thus the common name of "wolf's paw" or "wolf's foot."





Lycopodium species are not related to the mosses as some might think, but rather are related to the ferns and are considered to be fern-allies. They are evergreen, perennial, clonal, and rhizomatous in nature. Habitat range for each Lycopodium species may vary, but typically they are found in cool, moist conditions, can tolerate a range of nutrient availability, and can withstand a wide range of light conditions. Often they are found in maple-basswood or mixed pine-hardwoods.





A variety of species of Lycopodium occur in the northern forests. The most common to these forests are as listed: Lycopodium dendroideum (round-branched ground pine), Lycopodium obscurum (flat-branched ground pine), Lycopodium lucidulum (shining club moss), Lycopodium annotinum (bristly or stiff club moss), Lycopodium complanatum (ground cedar), and Lycopodium clavatum (running club moss or wolf's paw).





Of this group of species, the ground pines, also known as princess pine, are the most heavily harvested or gathered. Ground pines are allowed for harvest via a permitting process on federal national forest lands. Permits are also issued for harvest on Michigan and Minnesota state forest lands. Harvest by permit is not allowed on Wisconsin state forest land. Lycopodium complanatum (ground cedar) and Lycopodium clavatum (running club moss) are also often gathered, but only from privately owned lands and with landowner permission.

I have a wreath and I' m not sure where to put it?

I recently moved out of my husband's house and back into my parents house. My mom is the most non-festive person you'll ever meet. The only holiday decorating she does is a Christmas tree and that's it! So naturally when I got married and moved out, I decorated for every single holiday.





I just moved back in and brought my Thanksgiving decor. With it is a very pretty fall-looking wreath that I hung on my front door. Problem is, when I got to mom's house, she has all french doors! The front doors, the back doors, and even a set of french doors in the dining room! There is, however, one single door in the seating area of the kitchen that goes into a courtyard. The courtyard has 6 ft tall brick walls all around it, though. Would the wreath look ok there, or should I try to find a matching wreath, or should I just box it up and save it for next year when I've got a place of my own (and will make sure the place of my own has one single front door for wreaths)?

I have a wreath and I' m not sure where to put it?
Lay it horizontally on a table and put a lamp, candle, or bowl inside it. A bowl of unshelled nuts would probably look nice. Or hang it centered on a window frame if you have a single window (for example my dining room has one large window with a half round window above it)
Reply:On your car.
Reply:the single door
Reply:If you bought it for her french doors I would figure a way to use a big suction cup on the window of it and see how it fits there ,.,,,if not put it were ya think it will be nice,,,,,I would use it somewhere for sure,,,,,the brick wall might be hard to find a way to put it on,,but I think there are mason nails or something that will nail in brick....ENJOY
Reply:put it on that single door or use it as a centerpiece on a table filled with votive candles
Reply:on your front door

How would I make these fancy dress costumes?

1) A present/gift


2) A Christmas Cracker


3) A Christmas wreath





I woud preferably like to make them using materials such as cardboard etc rather than having to go out and buy lots of material/costumes.





Thanks.


If you have any other Christmas themed fancy dress costumes that can be easily made, please tell me!





Also, I don't want to dress up as some slutty elf, Mrs Claus etc.


P.S It's for school and we've got to wear it all day. I don't want to look a prat. XD

How would I make these fancy dress costumes?
The present idea..is good.. easily done but not wearable for all day.





This is an idea...get a nice white dress. Or white shirt and white skirt...and put over yourself a cardboard cut out of a star. This doesn't have to be that big of a star...and if you affix straps to your shoulders..and have the star on the back and the front...it should be comfortable to wear. Put glitter all over it with glue...or just make it out of aluminum foil...with glitter thrown on for good measure.





You can go nuts with the glitter...and put it everywhere...and even line some of your white dress with some gllitter glue..you can even paint some nice stars here and there.





So you will be the Christmas Star! That bright star that shone through the heavens and made such an impact on the whole world.





If you can't find a white dress...you can get some white sheets from a thrift store and make a very nice loose fitting tunic.





Good luck and Happy Holidays!
Reply:thing is if you don't want to look like a prat then your going to have to spend a bit of money and go to a fancy dress shop and buy something!!!!!!!! Its the only way trust me!!!!!!

What do you use to hang large wreaths on brick houses outdoors?

You should try a masonry nail.

What do you use to hang large wreaths on brick houses outdoors?
I'm guessing you would get a drill bit for brick and drill a hole and install an anchor with a hook. I have the same question though. I wonder if you would caulk it so it is water-tight.
Reply:I have a brick home and in fact hung my wreath today. I pre drilled a hole into the mortor, not the brick. Then I secured a screw with a hook on the end - as I have utilized a pully system so I dont have to go up and down the ladder every year. I have a 50 ft metal cable with spring hooks on each end - Most wreaths are secured onto a metal frame - just hook it on and hoist away!
Reply:I've hung my wreath this year using fishing line. It's non visible and is very strong. Secure it to a window sill or a nail on the roof. Remember to pad any contact zones with cardboard to prevent scratching.





Secondly try, duct tape. It solves all manly problems. Duct tape a hook on the wall, then reinforce it with more duct tape. I found duct tape to work well on brick and masonary b/c of it's thick goo that can get into the cracks and crevices to get a good grip. The wreath should hide most of the duct tape.





Lastly, drill a pilot hole and then stick in the screw. I hate to do it, but it's unnoticable to potential home buyers. (Duh, like you didn't think of that)
Reply:A carefully positioned, big-@ss nail would do the job!
Reply:The best way I know is to drill a hole in the mortar, (not the brick) 3/16 or 1/4 inch and use a plastic increment of the correct size for the hole you drilled. Just the same as if you were putting it in drywall. If you have trouble drilling, get a masonry bit and use a slow speed on the drill. A little water on the bit will also help.





GOOD LUCK!
Reply:You could use a cement or something to get a nail or something on the bricks and then just hang it on the nail. Good Luck with it because i know you wouldnt want to use cement on your house and make it look horrible the rest of the year when the wreath isnt hanging.. sorry
