    B.
    So, in colloquial lang., freq. like benigne and the Gr. kalôs, or kallista echei, as a courteously evasive answer, all ' s well, it ' s all right, there ' s nothing the matter; or, in politely declining an offer, nothing is wanting, no I thank you: De. Unde incedis? quid festinas, gnate mi? Ch. Recte pater, Plaut. Merc. 2, 3, 33; cf.: So. Quid es tam tristis? Pa. Recte mater, Ter. Hec. 3, 2, 20; and: Ch. Quid tu istic? Syr. Recte equidem, id. Heaut. 3, 2, 7: Mi. Quid est? Aes. Nihil, recte, perge, id. Ad. 4, 5, 19:

    rogo numquid velit? Recte inquit,

    i. e. no, nothing, id. Eun. 2, 3, 51; so,

    In gen., as a strongly corroborative adversative particle, but in truth, but not with standing, but yet; and after negative clauses, but even, but:

    verum veniat sane,

    Cic. Verr. 2, 2, 31, § 76 et saep.—Strengthened by enim, vero, and (in class. prose) enimvero, but truly, but indeed:

    B.
    vērō, in truth, in fact, certainly, truly, to be sure, surely, assuredly:

    eho, mavis vituperari falso, quam vero extolli?

    Ter. And. 5, 2, 13. —
    b.
    In corroborative replies, yes, certainly, by all means, assuredly, etc. (class.; while verum in this sense is only ante-class.): De. An quid est etiam amplius? He. Vero amplius, Ter. Ad. 3, 4, 23; id. Eun. 3, 1, 12: M. Fuisti saepe, credo, in scholis philosophorum. A. Vero, ac libenter quidem, Cic. Tusc. 2, 11, 26:

    id. Fin. 4, 28, 80: M. Cadere, opinor, in sapientem aegritudinem tibi dixisti videri. A. Et vero ita existimo, id. Tusc. 3, 6, 12.—With immo, nay rather: De. Quin tu mi argentum cedo. Ph. Immo vero uxorem tu cedo, Ter. Phorm. 5, 8, 43:

    sed da mihi nunc, satisne probas? Immo vero et haec, etc.,

    Cic. Ac. 1, 3, 10:

    minue vero iram,

    neque solum in tantis rebus, sed etiam in mediocribus vel studiis vel officiis, vel vero etiam negotiis contemnendum,

    Cic. Rep. 1, 3, 4:

    quod cum tam multi homines audissent, statim ad me defertur: immo vero, ut quisque me viderat, narrabat,

    nec vero jam meo nomine abstinent,

    id. Rep. 1, 3, 6:

    neque vero id satis habuit,

    Nep. Epam. 4, 5.—
    2.
    Transf., as a strongly corroborative adversative particle, but in fact, but indeed, however (always placed after a word):

    ne T. quidem Postumius contemnendus in dicendo: de re publicā vero non minus vehemens orator, quam bellator fuit,
