  It sounds as if you need to purchase a good Latin-English dictionary. My great little paperback version of The New College Latin & English Dictionary cost all of $6 and is fantastic. It even contains a very good grammar section in it, too. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_2_17?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=new+college+latin+%26+english+dictionary&sprefix=new+college+latin intelligent = intelligens, -entis (a 3rd declension adjective) athletic = athleticus, -a, -um (a 1st & 2nd declension adjective) funny - ridiculus, -a, -um meaning funny, laughable, ridiculous and can also be referring to a clown or a joke -- or facetus, -a, -um (both 1st & 2nd declension adjectives) meaning witty, humorous, brilliantly humorous, elegantly humorous.
