"Nos matrem nostram visitamus."

Translation: We visit our mother.

[SuzanneNussbaum]

It's good to learn the sequence "matrem nostram," but it seems funny, to me, to put it in a sentence that emphatically states, Nos visitamus. To convey the meaning, "We visit our mother," you need no more than Matrem visitamus. I don't think Latin is as prolific with possessive adjectives (when it's obvious) as, for example, English.

[tkdblake93]

In Portuguese it's "Nós visitamos (a) nossa mãe." The definite article in Portuguese is optional. Latin shows you that 'our mother' is in the accusative (direct object).

[J.C.M.H.]

Spanish is closer to Latin than Portuguese in the possesive in this case: nuestra vs. nossa.

[PERCE_NEIGE]

There's no definite article in this sentence.

[J.C.M.H.]

In Portuguese the possesives can be preceded by the definite article.

I find this persons pronunciation to be difficult.

[DianneChar]

Same here - I though very carefully before putting mater nostra and listened two or three times. I thought there must be some hidden reason for this to be nominative...

[MaryTownse9]

The audio on "nostram" is not clear

[DianneChar]

Agreed - nor matrem!

I agree it sounds like "nostra" which is a different case:/

The recording is poor, making it difficult to understand what is being said!!
