Usages of scopa
Post pluviam serva scopam capit ad verrendum atrium, quia folia et lutum ante ianuam iacent.
After the rain the female servant takes a broom to sweep the atrium, because leaves and mud lie before the door.
Dum serva atrium verrit, pulvis non surgit, sed scopa ipsa luto sordida fit.
While the female servant sweeps the atrium, dust does not rise, but the broom itself becomes dirty with mud.
Mater dicit scopam novam emendam esse, quia vetus scopa nimis brevis est.
Mother says that a new broom must be bought, because the old broom is too short.
