Breakdown of Nos consilium magistrae libenter accipimus.
Questions & Answers about Nos consilium magistrae libenter accipimus.
Latin verb endings already show the subject, so accipimus by itself can mean we accept. Adding nos is optional and usually adds emphasis or contrast, e.g. We (as opposed to someone else) gladly accept the teacher’s advice.
It’s nominative here (the subject = we). The form nos can be either nominative (we) or accusative (us), so you decide by context: since accipimus is 1st person plural (we accept), nos must be the subject, not the object.
Consilium is accusative singular, functioning as the direct object of accipimus (accept takes a direct object: accept what?).
It also happens to look like nominative because consilium is neuter (2nd declension): neuter nominative and accusative singular are identical.
