| multum, adv. | much / greatly | adverb | — |
| parum, adv. | little / too little | adverb | — |
| parum, indecl. noun; w. gen. | too little / not enough | noun | indeclinable; with genitive |
| satis, adv. | sufficiently / enough | adverb | — |

| tūtō, adv. | safely | adverb | — |
This lesson contains 6 adverbs and 2 nouns.
How long, how easily, how safely and how much are separate questions. Diū, facile, tūtō and multum answer them, so organise the adverbs by what they contribute to an action. Parum and satis appear both as adverbs and as indeclinable quantity words with a genitive. In the quantity use, ask too little of what or enough of what to find the relationship. A list made mostly of short unchanging words can still carry substantial meaning. Challenge II week 15 reviews adverb degrees and translated passages at the assessment point. Before the next lesson, identify whether satis modifies an action or introduces a quantity relationship, distinguish insufficient from merely small, and keep duration separate from speed or manner. Testing these words inside your assigned reading will reveal errors that a rapid English-gloss chant can easily conceal.
In the Classical Conversations schedule, this lesson's vocabulary is assigned in Challenge II, week 15.
They can function adverbially or as indeclinable quantity words with a genitive. Ask whether the sentence means doing something enough or enough of something.
No. It tells duration, a long time. Speed and duration are different features of an action.
