Rule 77: Purpose Clauses

Latin expresses purpose in a multitude of ways, including using the gerund/gerundive and supine. But perhaps the most common way to show purpose is the purpose clause, a clause with a verb in the subjunctive mood introduced by ut, nē, the relative pronoun, or a relative adverb like ubi. These clauses give the reason why the main clause was done and answer the question "why?" This video explores the different types of purpose clauses, and shows how we can translate these into English properly.

Cicero's First Philippic: "Quid est aliud hortari adulescentes, ut turbulenti, ut sediotiosi, ut perniciosi cives velint esse?" "What is this but exhorting the young to become turbulent, seditious, pernicious citizens?"

Great bite-sized lessons!

[@arkatreides1807]

Would you also consider clauses depending on verba postulandi (e.g. Caesar militibus imperabat ut acriter pugnarent) and/or verba curandi (e.g. Calor solis non ipse per se efficit ut vinum bonum sit) to fall under this rule or would that be a separate rule?

Can a purpose clause stand on its own?

[@latintutorial]

No, it's a dependent clause that needs a main clause.

[@nickw206]

Result/Substantive Result both use "ut... non"; not "ne"

Amicus quaerebat locum ubi sederet. 'Ubi' being the adverb of location.
