can you use "vacare" in the sense of "being free to do as one pleases", synonymously to "liber(x) esse"? I thought it only meant "being free of something, being empty".

Yes, Benni, absolutely.

{To be free from labor, be idle, be at leisure, have leisure, have time: quamvis occupatus sis ... aut, si ne tu quidem vacas, etc.: Dum perago tecum pauca vaca, i. e. attend, O.: philosophiae, Quinte, semper vaco, have time for: In grande opus, O.: teneri properentur amores, Dum vacat, i. e. in idle hours, O.: si vacat, Iu.: si vacet annalis nostrorum audire laborum, if there is time, V.: Hactenus indulsisse vacat, i. e. it is permitted, V.: Non vacat exiguis rebus adesse Iovi, Jupiter has no leisure for trifles, O.}

LEWIS, C.T. An Elementary Latin Dictionary.

aaah, I see I see. I didn't see "being free" as "having free time".

thanks for the info. :D
