Hardcore Latin - Lesson 72

Question	Answer
the spelt	far
Mother wants to make bread at home today, and so she orders the maid to bring spelt from the chest.	Mater hodie panem domi facere vult, itaque ancillam iubet far ex arca ferre.
the sieve	cribrum
the little stone	lapillus
The boy finds a little stone in the road and shows it to his mother.	Puer lapillum in via invenit et matri ostendit.
the dough	massa
The maid pours the spelt into a sieve, so that little stones may not remain in the dough.	Ancilla far in cribrum fundit, ne lapilli in massa maneant.
to sift	cribrare
The maid sifts the spelt, so that little stones may not remain in the dough.	Ancilla far cribrat, ne lapilli in massa maneant.
the leaven	fermentum
The maid pours the spelt through the sieve, then adds a little leaven.	Ancilla far per cribrum fundit, deinde fermentum parvum addit.
Mother says: “Sift the spelt and add a little leaven.”	Mater dicit: “Far cribrato et fermentum parvum addito.”
The girl asks why leaven is necessary for the dough; mother replies that leaven makes bread softer.	Puella rogat cur fermentum massae necessarium sit; mater respondet fermentum panem molliorem facere.
to knead	subigere
The maid kneads the dough for a long time, so that the bread may become softer.	Ancilla massam diu subigit, ut panis mollior fiat.
Then mother says: “Knead the dough for a long time, so that the bread may not become too hard.”	Deinde mater dicit: “Massam diu subigito, ne panis nimis durus fiat.”
“Prepare the oven before midday,” says father, “and do not make the crust too black.”	“Clibanum ante meridiem parato,” inquit pater, “et crustum nimis nigrum facere nolito.”
the oven	clibanus
When the oven is hot enough, mother puts the bread into it.	Cum clibanus satis calidus est, mater panem in eum ponit.
the crumb	mica
The dog takes a crumb from the floor.	Canis micam de pavimento capit.
Afterward the first crumb falls from the new bread, and the baby laughs.	Postea prima mica e novo pane cadit, et infans ridet.
the bran	furfur
Grandmother says that a little bran in bread is useful.	Avia dicit paulum furfuris in pane utile esse.
to sprinkle	spargere
The maid sprinkles a little pepper over the eggs.	Serva paulum piperis super ova spargit.
Before the bread is baked, mother sprinkles a little bran over the dough again.	Antequam panis coquitur, mater paulum furfuris super massam iterum spargit.
the musical performance	concentus
After dinner father and mother sit in the atrium and gladly listen to their daughter's musical performance.	Post cenam pater et mater in atrio sedent et concentum filiae libenter audiunt.
On the same day the sister prepares a musical performance with her friend, because the guests are going to come in the evening.	Eodem die soror cum amica concentum parat, quia convivae vespere venturi sunt.
the lyre	lyra
the cithara	cithara
to play	pulsare
The friend holds a lyre, but the sister plays the cithara.	Amica lyram tenet, soror autem citharam pulsat.
sweeter	suavior
These pears are sweeter than those.	Haec pira suaviora sunt quam illa.
Mother says that the lyre is sweeter, but father says that the cithara is heard more clearly.	Mater dicit lyram suaviorem esse, sed pater citharam clariorem audiri.
the flute	tibia
to sound	sonare
When a flute begins to sound in the atrium, the baby laughs.	Cum tibia in atrio sonare incipit, infans ridet.
In the atrium the girl hears a flute sounding and runs to the door.	In atrio puella tibiam sonare audit et ad ostium currit.
the lyre-player	fidicen
the song	cantus
to perform	modulari
A lyre-player stands before the entrance hall and performs a short song.	Fidicen ante vestibulum stat et brevem cantum modulatur.
the chorus	chorus
The sister asks whether the lyre-player wants to sing with the chorus.	Soror rogat utrum fidicen cum choro canere velit.
After the chorus gathers, the performance gradually becomes clearer.	Postquam chorus convenit, concentus paulatim clarior fit.
the harmony	concentus
The harmony of the flute and the cithara is more pleasing to mother than the flute alone.	Concentus tibiae et citharae matri gratior est quam tibia sola.
The teacher, who happens to be present, says that a good performance arises not from one voice, but from many voices.	Magistra, quae forte adest, dicit bonum concentum non ex voce una, sed ex multis vocibus oriri.
to play	canere
The lyre-player plays the cithara, and the guests gladly listen to him.	Fidicen citharam canit, et convivae eum libenter audiunt.
the sound	sonitus
When the flute plays and the cithara is played at the same time, the sound of the whole atrium changes.	Cum tibia canit et cithara simul pulsatur, sonitus totius atrii mutatur.
The boy says that he likes the sound of the flute more than the song of the chorus.	Puer dicit se sonitum tibiae magis amare quam cantum chori.
Grandmother, however, replies that a song can be beautiful without a cithara, but that a chorus seems less full without a lyre-player.	Avia tamen respondet cantum sine cithara pulchrum esse posse, sed chorum sine fidicine minus plenum videri.
more correctly	rectius
Lucia translates this sentence more correctly than Marcus.	Lucia hanc sententiam rectius transfert quam Marcus.
The sister performs again, and now the chorus too sings more correctly.	Soror iterum modulatur, et etiam chorus nunc rectius cantat.
more gently	lenius
Mother answers the crying boy more gently.	Mater puero flenti lenius respondet.
to let	sinere
Father does not let the boy linger in the road, because the night is dark.	Pater non sinit puerum in via morari, quia nox obscura est.
Then father says: “Play the cithara more gently and let the flute be silent for a little while.”	Deinde pater dicit: “Citharam lenius pulsato et tibiam paulisper tacere sinito.”
first	primo
the performance	concentus
After the performance the guests thank the teacher.	Post concentum convivae magistrae gratias agunt.
The guests come and first taste the warm bread, then gladly listen to the performance.	Convivae veniunt et primo panem calidum gustant, deinde concentum libenter audiunt.
Thus both the bread from the oven and the song in the atrium are very pleasing to everyone.	Sic et panis e clibano et cantus in atrio omnibus gratissimi sunt.
to feel	tangere
The doctor feels the boy’s forehead and says that he ought to stay at home.	Medica frontem pueri tangit et dicit eum domi manere debere.
First the doctor feels the pulse, then she looks at the throat.	Primo medica pulsum tangit, deinde guttur spectat.
