This lesson contains 2 verbs, 2 adverbs, 2 nouns and 1 adjective.
Willingness, truth and remembrance give this small list a reflective character. Nōlō means be unwilling or not wish, with nōlle and nōluī identifying an irregular family rather than a regular negative prefix attached freely to any verb. Vērum is a noun here, truth or reality, not simply an adjective waiting for a masculine noun. Monumentum names a memorial, while convertō describes turning about; ultrō adds that an action is unasked or unprovoked. Challenge III assigns these words in week 29 during final translation and style discussion before assessment. Use the small number of entries to revisit earlier places where the speaker's intention was unclear. Before cumulative review, recognise nōlō from its infinitive, distinguish noun vērum from an agreeing adjective, and preserve the voluntary or unprovoked force of ultrō. Those details often determine the attitude behind an action.
Forms in this lesson: 2nd-declension nouns (2), 3rd-conjugation verbs (1), 1st/2nd-declension adjectives (1), irregular verbs (1).
In the Classical Conversations schedule, this lesson's vocabulary is assigned in Challenge III, week 29.
