This lesson contains 8 verbs, 2 nouns, 2 adjectives and 1 pronoun.
Reading, stating an opinion and admitting something are distinct ways information enters an argument. Legō reads, recitō reads aloud, cēnseō expresses an opinion, and cōnfiteor admits or confesses. The latter is a second-conjugation deponent, so cōnfessus sum should retain its active meaning. Indicium is information or proof; indicō points out or accuses. Keep that noun-and-verb pair separate from the similar-looking vocabulary of judging encountered earlier. Potestās adds the abstract idea of power, with its genitive showing potestāt-. Challenge III week 27 combines active translation with discussion of style. Notice whether the passage presents a document, an opinion or an admission as support for its claim. Before advancing, distinguish silent reading from reading aloud, recognise an admission without passive English, and explain the role of the evidence word rather than treating every reference to information as equally certain.
Forms in this lesson: 1st-conjugation verbs (4), 1st/2nd-declension adjectives (2), 3rd-conjugation verbs (2), 2nd-conjugation verbs (1), deponent verbs (1), 2nd-declension nouns (1), 3rd-declension nouns (1).
In the Classical Conversations schedule, this lesson's vocabulary is assigned in Challenge III, week 27.
Legō means read; recitō specifically means read aloud. Preserve that distinction when the delivery of a document matters.
Its listed meaning is information or proof. Do not confuse it with similar-looking words for judging or a trial.
