- Parva formica onera magna ore trahit.
ore: This is the ablative, singular form of os, oris (n.). This construction is called an ablative of means or instrument. The noun is put into the ablative case to answer the questions: by what?, with what?, by means of what? There is no preposition before the noun; however, when we translate it into English we use the prepositions, by, by means of and with. Here ore answeres the question: With what does the small ant drag many loads? The answer is: with its mouth.
A small ant drags great loads with its mouth.
hunc: This is the masculine, accusative, singular form of the demonstrative adjective hic, haec, hoc (this). Here it stands alone, not modifying a noun in the sentence, and is being used as a substantive adjective.
nemo: (nominative, singular) Nemo has an irregular declension. It can only be found in the singular as its translation is no one or nobody. Its forms are:
Gen.
Dat.
Acc.
Abl.
neminis/nullius
nemini
neminem
nemine/nullo/nulla
**Although nemo does have genitive and ablative forms, one usually finds the genitive and ablative of nullus used instead.**
superare: This is a present, active, infinitive. Here it functions as a complementary infinitive with potuit.
No one was able to overcome this man with force nor money.
