admonitionibus

Admonitionibus is a Latin plural form that appears in texts as either the dative plural or the ablative plural of admonitio, a feminine noun meaning admonition, warning, exhortation, or counsel. The word derives from the verb admonere, to warn or remind.

In classical and later Latin, admonitio denotes a formal or moral admonition issued by someone in a position of authority—such as a parent, magistrate, teacher, or religious figure—and can also refer to the act of advising or warning. The plural admonitionibus thus appears in contexts where multiple admonitions are referenced, or where the dative or ablative case marks the role of the admonitions in a sentence (to the admonitions, by the admonitions, with the admonitions).

Usage spans legal codes, ethical or didactic treatises, sermons, and other textual genres where guidance, cautions, or warnings are discussed. In late and medieval Latin, the term can retain a similar sense of exhortation or precaution, sometimes within scholastic or ecclesiastical discourse. As a grammatical form, admonitionibus is not a standalone concept but a case form of admonitio, and its translation depends on context, commonly rendered as “to the admonitions,” “by the admonitions,” or “with the admonitions.”
