Identification of the recipient of an action is the use of the dative case in Latin. The Latin case name, cāsus datīvus("case for giving"), owes its origins to the Greek phrase δοτικὴ πτῶσις (dotikē ptôsis, "inflection for giving"). The pronunciation will be "KA-soos da-TEE-vos" in Church and classical Latin.
