5 +3 | hic feles pupa est, quae demortuae matri meae fuerat |
|
this cat doll belonged to my late mother hic feles pupa est, quae demortuae matri meae fuerat Explanation: Hi there, I have changed a bit the structure: "Hic feles pupa est" --> This cat is a doll "quae" --> which (fem.) "demortuae matri meae" "to my late/deceased mother" (dative) "fuerat" --> "had belonged" (plusquamperfect) In Latin you say "esse" + dative to express "belong".
