Die Quadam

  • Die Quadam is an ablative of time. Die is an ablative singular feminine of dies (dies, dies), a type five noun.

  • Quadam is an ablative feminine singular demonstrative pronoun, modifying die. Beware this word...it is sneaky, because the -dam stays the same, and it is the qua that is the declinable part. That qua is from quid, quae, quod, and the nom.masc.sing of quadam is quidam.

  • Thus, you get: on a certain day or, on a particular day.
