      1. 1. certē: if it will c. happen, there is no chance, si c. eveniet nulla fortuna est, Cic.: Ter.
      2. 2. certo (= for certain: cf. certain, I. Phr.) my name is c. Sosia, mihi certo nomen Sosia'st, Pl.: to expect nothing so as if it would c. happen, nihil ita expectare quasi certo futurum, Cic.
      3. 3. prōfecto: v. assuredly.
    2. II. In replies, to denote emphatic assent.
      1. 1. sānē: do you wish to be advised? c. I do, te moneri numne vis? sane volo, Pl.: Ter.
      2. 2. vēro: you have often, I think, been in the schools of the philosophers?--C. and with great pleasure too, fuisti saepe, credo, in scholis philosophorum?--Vero, ac libenter quidem, Cic.: esp. after a pronoun: as, I ask whether he in that acted unjustly?--C. he did, he replies, quaero num id injuste fecerit?--Ille vero, Cic.: Nep.

    3. III. To denote a concession, foll. by a qualification:
      1. 1. quĭdem, ĕquĭdem (the latter usu. with first person sing.): v. indeed.
      2. 2. ĕtĭam (only in dialogue): Zeno thinks that a happy life consists in virtue alone. What says Antiochus?--C. a happy life, he says, does, but not the most happy, Zeno in una virtute positam beatam vitam putat. Quid Antiochus?--Etiam, inquit, beatam, sed non beatissimam, Cic.
