I think the two Latin words I have learned best are raeda and fossa. They exist in my vocabulary without having to think about their English translations - I just know them.

*loosely based off of chapter 52 Marcus had received the toga virilis. Now, Marcus was a man. No more toga praetexta for him. After the ceremony, in which he received the toga, had ended Sextus approached Marcus. "So, you're a man know, huh?" "Yeah," Marcus replied sheepishly. "You won't be a real man until I'm done with you," Sextus responded. Marcus's cheeks turned bright read, he couldn't believe what was happening. All of his life he had seen Sextus as just a molestus puer, but now he saw him as more than just amicus. Sextus approached Marcus, his fingers reaching over to slide Marcus's new toga off his shoulders and onto the floor. "It will be our little secret," Sextus whispered in his ear.

Davus: *walks into living room* What are you still doing inside? I told you to go plow the fields.
Geta: *whining*I DON'T FEEEL LIKE IT
Davus: Geta, go plow the fields.
Geta: BUT MOOOOOOOM I DON'T WANNNA WORK
Davus: Young man, you march yourself outside or so help me I will get the stick!
Geta: YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!!
Davus: I AM YOUR DOMINUS AND AS LONG AS YOU LIVE UNDER THE CORNELIUS' ROOF YOU'LL DO AS I SAY!!
Geta: THEN I'LL RUN AWAY
Davus: IF YOU SET ONE TOE OUT OF THIS LAND PLOT I'LL SEND THE DOGS ON YOU!
Geta: SO GO AHEAD!!!*walks out, slamming the door behind him*
...
Davus: Geta, come down from that tree before you fall!
Geta: No, you can't make me!
...
Davus: If I can't trust you to stay on the property, then I'll have to brand you in case you run away again.
Geta: No, Mom, come on, I'll be good.
Davus: Too late. Now, come here.
...
Davus: Goodnight, sweetie. I love you. *kisses Geta on forehead*
Geta: Whatever.
