| quam | than | adverb | — |
This lesson contains 2 verbs, 1 verb phrase and 1 adverb.
Aestimō and iūdicō take you from simply reporting information to evaluating it. Both are first-conjugation verbs, but think or value and judge place different emphasis on the speaker's decision. Certiōrem faciō is a phrase meaning inform; recognise the expression as a whole before working out the construction that follows. The entry records several possibilities, so an indirect question should not be forced into an accusative-and-infinitive analysis. Quam here means than, connecting this page with comparison rather than the interrogative meaning encountered earlier. Challenge I studies these words in weeks 26–27 while sharing translations and reviewing difficulties from home. Before the next list, distinguish informing from judging, identify what follows the informing expression, and check whether quam introduces a comparison. The short page is an opportunity to read the connections between words with more care than the number of headwords might suggest.
Forms in this lesson: 1st-conjugation verbs (2).
In the Classical Conversations schedule, this lesson's vocabulary is assigned in Challenge I, weeks 26 and 27.
The useful phrase meaning is inform. Recognise the expression first, then examine whether it introduces a statement, question or dē phrase.
No. The entry on this page means than, used in comparison. Its role depends on the surrounding construction.
