This lesson contains 6 nouns, 5 verbs, 3 adjectives, 2 pronouns and 2 adverbs.
Justice and wrongdoing form a deliberate tension through jūs, improbus and nēquitia. The nouns make different claims: jūs concerns right or justice, nēquitia describes wickedness or criminal negligence, and perniciēs names destruction. Keep the judgement of character distinct from the harm it may cause. The phrases ejus modī and hūjus modī classify something as of this kind or sort; keep each phrase intact in recall. Moenia is a neuter plural noun for walls, and mōlior is a fourth-conjugation deponent meaning undertake. Challenge III week 18 uses this vocabulary in translation and stylistic discussion alongside Lesson 4. Ask whether an adjective reports a visible fact or evaluates a person's character. Before continuing, recognise the genitive jūris, retain the plural shape of moenia, and translate mōlior actively. Your English should preserve both what is happening and how strongly the speaker judges it.
Forms in this lesson: 3rd-conjugation verbs (3), 3rd-declension nouns (3), 1st/2nd-declension adjectives (2), 3rd-declension adjectives (1), 4th-conjugation verbs (1), 2nd-declension nouns (1), deponent verbs (1), 1st-declension nouns (1), 5th-declension nouns (1).
In the Classical Conversations schedule, this lesson's vocabulary is assigned in Challenge III, week 18.
The genitive confirms the stem and plural noun pattern. Its English walls meaning should stay attached to those forms.
No. It is deponent and has the active meaning undertake. Its passive-looking form does not dictate passive English.
