Rewrite the Latin sentence 'Mē oportet nāvem solvere' using a gerundive.

The sentence "Mē oportet nāvem solvere" translates to "I must release the ship." To rewrite this using a gerundive, we need to express the necessity in a passive construction, where the subject of the action is not the doer but the one to whom the action is necessary.

The gerundive in Latin conveys a sense of obligation or necessity. The phrase "nāvem solvenda" translates to "the ship to be released," indicating that there is an obligation for the ship to be released. When we say "Mihi navis solvenda est," we are using the gerundive construct correctly. It translates to "The ship must be released to me," capturing the same sense of obligation as the original sentence.

This construction effectively conveys the idea that it is necessary for the ship to be released in relation to the subject ("mihi" meaning "to me"), maintaining the original meaning while incorporating the gerundive.
