If i want to say, "This is my mother" in Latin, would I put "my mother" in the genitive or nominative?

Question

Hic est meae matris
Hic est meus mater

Which translation is correct?

Answer 1

You would definitely use the nominative, as 'my mother' is the complement of the verb 'to be'. The nominative is MEA MATER, so the translation would be: MEA MATER EST.

You don't need the HIC if it's just a statement of existence. If you put the HIC in, it means something like: My mother is here.

Answer 2

You need to use in the nominative but I guess the correct translation is
HAEC MATER MEA (EST)
Hic is masculin pronoun and is not agreeing with a female noun as 'mater'. Also I'm not agree with previous answerer.
If you want leave something this should be the verb 'est' and not the demonstrative pronoun 'haec' .

Answer 3

Since "my mother" is a predicate nominative in the sentence, the Latin case would have to be nominative.

The second sentence is the correct one.

Answer 4

I would write "Mater mea est." It has an adjective, "meus," that inflects for possession.

Answer 5

"This is the mother of me." Mom would be in the nominative case.
