Savlēte, sodālēs.
Our first new word is the adjective plēnus. The margin tells us that it means the opposite of vacuus.
Our second new word in the verb inest/insunt, which simply means is inside/are inside. Below is a table that summarises everything we know about the verb est/sunt and its ‘friends’.
from Handy Latin Tables Pars Secunda
Our third new word is the noun mālum, not to be confused with the adjective malus. And yes, a mālum malum is indeed a bad apple.
from Lingua Latīna Per Sē Illustrāta, page 49.
Our fourth and final new word is hic, not to be confused with hīc. Hīc means here, whereas hic means this or the one that is here (with me). Your book explains this in Latin.
from Lingua Latīna Per Sē Illustrāta, page 49.
Before you move on to the reading, let’s think about the genetīvus (the ‘of’ case). To date, we have seen two uses of the ‘of’ case:
Iūlius est dominus multōrum servōrum.
Numerus servōrum est centum.
Today, we add a third:
Hic saccus plēnus mālōrum est. This sack is full of apples.
Now, READ Capitulum Sextum, lines 38-44.
Satis est. See you next time.
