Other / phrase | | English term or phrase: with a little bread | Hi
E.g. I eat my meals with a little bread
'a little bread' being 'paulum panis' (I think), I can't quite see how to preface it with 'cum' as adverbs don,t have ablatives..

| | cum paulo panis | Explanation:
'Cum' is here the preposition, not to be confused with the conjunction. 'Paulo' is used substantively, as often with adjectives of quantity, and 'panis' is therefore partitive genitive. |

Explanation:
This would be possible too:
You turn the adverb into an adjective (paulus-a-um), and then you can put it in ablative.
Example: Paulo sumptu (with little expense, Terentius)
