The '''ablative case''' in Latin is an inflection<ref>Crystal, D. (1985) A Dictionary of Linguistics and Phonetics. Blackwell.</ref> that applies to nouns, adjectives and participles. The ablative case is sometimes known as the "case of adverbial relation"<ref>Gildersleve, B. and G. Lodge (1895) Gildersleeve's Latin Grammar, Macmillan.</ref> and the function of the ablative case is sometimes performed in English by adverbial phrases. Noun phrases in the ablative case are used as the objects of some pronouns. Certain verbs take objects in the ablative as well.

Bennett<ref>Bennett, C. (1895) New Latin Grammar, Allyn and Bacon</ref> states that the ablative case represents the merger of three cases and identifies three broad classes of meaning:
# "Genuine" uses
# Instrumental
# Locative (related to place)
