Quamquam taurus cornua magna habet, filia agricolae ad eum sine timore ambulat, quia taurus mansuetus est.

Quamquam introduces a concessive clause: a clause that means although or even though.

So quamquam taurus cornua magna habet means although the bull has large horns.

It sets up a contrast:

• the bull has big horns,
• but the farmer’s daughter still walks toward him without fear.

Because quamquam commonly takes the indicative in straightforward Latin prose.

So:

• taurus ... habet = the bull has
• not a subjunctive form

This is a useful pattern to remember:

• quamquam
  • indicative = although ...

Cornua is the accusative plural of cornu, meaning horn.

Here it is the direct object of habet:

• taurus cornua magna habet = the bull has large horns

The noun cornu is neuter, so its plural nominative and accusative form is cornua.

This can look surprising to English speakers, because the ending -a is often associated with first-declension feminine nouns, but here it is simply the normal neuter plural form of cornu.

Because magna agrees with cornua, which is neuter plural accusative.

In Latin, adjectives must match the nouns they describe in:

• gender
• number
• case

Since cornua is:

• neuter
• plural
• accusative

the adjective must also be:

• neuter
• plural
• accusative

That gives magna.

So:

• cornua magna = large horns

Because cornua is not the subject. It is the object.

The subject is taurus, which is singular:

• taurus = the bull

So the verb is singular too:

• taurus ... habet = the bull has

A good way to see it is:

• Who is doing the having? → taurus
• What is being had? → cornua magna

Agricolae is genitive singular.

So filia agricolae means:

• the daughter of the farmer

This is a very common Latin pattern:

• noun + genitive noun
• X of Y

So:

• filia = daughter
• agricolae = of the farmer

Yes. Agricola is a very common example of a first-declension masculine noun.

That can seem odd at first, because many first-declension nouns are feminine. But some nouns referring to male persons are masculine, even in the first declension.

So:

• agricola = farmer
• gender: masculine
• genitive singular: agricolae

That is why filia agricolae means the farmer’s daughter.

Because ad means to or toward, and it takes the accusative case.

Here:

• ad = toward
• eum = him in the accusative singular masculine

So ad eum ambulat means:

• she walks toward him

The pronoun eum refers back to taurus.

Because ad requires the accusative, not the dative.

The forms are different:

• ei = to him / for him (dative)
• eum = him (accusative)

Since Latin says ad + accusative for motion toward a person or thing, it must be:

• ad eum

not

• ad ei

Because the preposition sine always takes the ablative.

So:

• sine = without
• timore = ablative singular of timor

Together:

• sine timore = without fear

This is a good vocabulary-and-case combination to memorize:

• sine + ablative

Because quia introduces a clause giving a reason:

• because the bull is tame

The structure is:

• quia = because
• taurus = subject
• mansuetus = predicate adjective
• est = is

So the clause explains why the girl walks toward him without fear.

Mansuetus is an adjective in the nominative singular masculine.

It agrees with taurus, which is also:

• nominative
• singular
• masculine

So:

• taurus mansuetus est = the bull is tame

This is a standard Latin pattern:

• subject + adjective + est

Latin often repeats a noun where English might use he or it.

So instead of saying something like quia is mansuetus est, the sentence says:

• quia taurus mansuetus est

This repetition can make the sentence:

• clearer
• more explicit
• easier to follow

Especially for learners, it helps show exactly what mansuetus describes.

Latin word order is flexible, because the endings show how words function.

This sentence uses a very natural prose order, but it does not have to match English word order exactly.

For example:

• Quamquam taurus cornua magna habet
• filia agricolae ad eum sine timore ambulat
• quia taurus mansuetus est

A few things to notice:

• the verb often comes later than in English
• important words can be placed earlier or later for emphasis
• the endings, not the position alone, tell you the grammar

So Latin word order matters, but not in the same rigid way as English.

Because Latin has no articles.

That means Latin does not have separate words for:

• the
• a
• an

So a noun like taurus can mean:

• the bull
• a bull

and the exact sense depends on context.

The same is true for:

• filia = the daughter or a daughter
• agricola = the farmer or a farmer

English has to choose an article, but Latin does not.
