Lesson Forty-Three : Quis mē accūsat? / by Anthony Gibbins

Salvēte, sodālēs.

In the nest few lessons, expect to see a lot more of people telling other people what to do. And asking a lot of questions about Julius’s missing money.

But first, let’s look at the vocābula nova for today’s lesson. The first vocābulum novum is verbum. And verbum, we are told in the margin, means the same thing as vocābulum. So, we can say something fun like ‘Verbum’ est verbum nōvum (‘Word’ is a new word). Along with verbum, we learn nūllum, which the margin tells us means nōn ūnum. When Julius asks Medus where his coins are, we get this sentence : Mēdus nūllum verbum respondet. Another way of saying that would be Mēdus tacet. The final two vocābula nova - or verba nova if you prefer - are the verbs accūsat and habet. Try to deduce their meaning for yourself.

from the Legonium website.

Now, READ lines 44-58. I’ve deliberately left it at a bit of a cliff-hanger.

  • accūsat : accuses

    habet : has

Satis est. See you real soon.
