to raise	levare
The student raises his hand, because he knows the answer.	Discipulus manum levat, quia responsum scit.

the bench	scamnum
more comfortable	commodior
This chair is more comfortable than that bench, because grandmother can sit there for a long time.	Haec sella commodior est quam illud scamnum, quia avia diu ibi sedere potest.
This bench is more comfortable than the old chair, and so two female students gladly sit there.	Hoc scamnum sella vetere commodius est, itaque duae discipulae ibi libenter sedent.
If the chalk is small, the teacher takes another piece of chalk from the chest and gives it to the student.	Si creta parva est, magistra alteram cretam e cista tollit et discipulae dat.
completely	omnino
The doctor says that the boy is completely healthy.	Medicus dicit puerum omnino sanum esse.
worse	peior
This sentence is worse than that one.	Haec sententia peior est quam illa.
A certain female student is completely silent, because she fears that she may give a worse answer.	Quaedam discipula omnino tacet, quia timet ne responsum peius det.

to judge	iudicare
Recently a new female student came to the school, and everyone judges that she is prudent.	Nuper nova discipula in scholam venit, et omnes iudicant eam prudentem esse.
no one	neminem
The teacher allows no one to shout in the library.	Magistra neminem in bibliotheca clamare patitur.
But the teacher warns that no one ought to judge quickly before hearing the whole story.	Sed magistra monet neminem celeriter iudicare oportere, antequam totam fabulam audiverit.
the court	iudicium
In court witnesses ought to tell the truth.	In iudicio testes veritatem dicere debent.
to condemn	damnare
to acquit	absolvere
If anyone should tell a lie in court, the judge can condemn him; if he is innocent, she must acquit him.	Si quis mendacium in iudicio dicat, iudex eum damnare potest; si innocens sit, eum absolvere debet.
to be cut	secandus
the piece	frustum
to be divided	dividendus
The apple must be divided between the son and the daughter.	Malum inter filium et filiam dividendum est.

If the napkin is wet, the maid brings another napkin from the kitchen.	Si mappa humida est, serva aliam mappam e culina fert.

more timid	timidior
The sister is more timid than her brother, but she nevertheless tells the truth.	Soror timidior est quam frater, sed veritatem tamen dicit.
Lucia is more diligent than Marcus, but another female student is more timid than he is.	Lucia Marco diligentior est, sed alia discipula eo timidior.
Father tries to divide the apple so that he may give two pieces to his daughter and son.	Pater malum dividere conatur, ut filiae et filio duo frusta det.
Recently grandmother said that the girls stay with her more often, but the brothers come more rarely, because they live far away.	Nuper avia dixit puellas saepius apud se manere, fratres autem rarius venire, quia procul habitant.
The teacher thinks this sentence is more difficult than that one, but the female student says that the meaning gradually becomes clearer.	Magistra existimat hanc sententiam illa difficiliorem esse, sed discipula dicit sensum paulatim clariorem fieri.
inconvenient	incommodus
The teacher recently bought a long parchment, because the old parchments were inconvenient.	Magistra nuper membranam longam emit, quia veteres membranae incommodae erant.
The boy puts the book on the bench while the teacher writes on the board with chalk.	Puer librum in scamno ponit, dum magistra creta in tabula scribit.
at all	omnino
Mother does not drink wine at all.	Mater vinum omnino non bibit.
In the library no one dares to shout at all; whoever wants to say something only whispers to a friend.	In bibliotheca nemo omnino clamare audet; qui aliquid dicere vult, amico tantum susurrat.

The girl finds the lost book again and shows it to the teacher.	Puella librum amissum rursus invenit et magistrae ostendit.

This hour is inconvenient for me, but more convenient for my sister, because she comes home late.	Haec hora mihi incommoda est, sed sorori commodior, quia illa sero domum venit.
to be observed	servandus

Finally the trial comes to an end, and the judge says that the law must be observed by everyone.	Denique iudicium finem habet, et iudex dicit legem omnibus servandam esse.
worse	peius

to make mistakes	errare
Whoever hurries makes mistakes more often.	Qui festinat, saepius errat.
The boy writes worse when he hurries; his sister, however, writes less quickly and makes mistakes more rarely.	Puer peius scribit, cum festinat; soror autem minus cito scribit et rarius errat.
The maid puts the napkin on the bench so that the dog may not take it.	Serva mappam in scamno ponit, ne canis eam capiat.
