THE INTENSIVE PRONOUN IPSE AND THE DEMONSTRATIVE ĪDEM
[285.] Ipse means -self (him-self, her-self, etc.) or is translated by even or very. It is used to emphasize a noun or pronoun, expressed or understood, with which it agrees like an adjective.
a. Ipse must be carefully distinguished from the reflexive suī. The latter is always used as a pronoun, while ipse is regularly adjective. Compare
| Homō sē videt, the man sees himself (reflexive) Homō ipse perīculum videt, the man himself (intensive) sees the danger Homō ipsum perīculum videt, the man sees the danger itself (intensive) |
[286.] Except for the one form ipse, the intensive pronoun is declined exactly like the nine irregular adjectives (cf. [§§ 108], [109]). Learn the declension ([§ 481]).
[287.] The demonstrative īdem, meaning the same, is a compound of is. It is declined as follows:
