This lesson contains 9 nouns, 5 adjectives, 3 adverbs, 2 verbs and 1 conjunction.
Public decisions and personal responsibility meet in this list. Cōnsultum is a decree, dēcernō the act of deciding or decreeing, and praetor names an officeholder. Prīvātus contrasts with the public setting without necessarily meaning secret. Two expressions built around rēs require whole-phrase recognition: rēs pūblica means the state, while rēs novae can mean revolution. A literal new things may conceal the political force of the latter. Poena and supplicium both concern punishment, but their genders and declensions differ. Challenge III studies these words with Lesson 1 in week 17, translating aloud and examining style. Bring a translation choice that changes the sense of a public action rather than simply a difficult noun ending. Readiness for the next list means recognising the political expressions, keeping cōnsultum distinct from a person, and identifying whose action a decree authorises or describes.
Forms in this lesson: 1st/2nd-declension adjectives (4), 3rd-declension nouns (3), 2nd-declension nouns (2), 3rd-conjugation verbs (2), 5th-declension nouns (2), 3rd-declension adjectives (1), 4th-declension nouns (1), 1st-declension nouns (1).
In the Classical Conversations schedule, this lesson's vocabulary is assigned in Challenge III, week 17.
Its listed political sense is revolution. The surrounding argument determines whether a literal translation would miss that meaning.
No. Poena is feminine first declension; supplicium is neuter second declension. Similar English meanings do not imply matching forms.
