Grammar
Nouns
Nouns are categorized based on gender (masculine, feminine, neuter, ambiguous, and indefinite) and number (singular, dual, and plural). They also decline according to case, reflecting their grammatical function in the sentence (nominative, genitive, possessive, partitive, dative, accusative, prepositive, subordinative, and locative).
Gender
- Masculine: Typically ends in -o in the nominative singular (e.g., domino - "lord").
- Feminine: Typically ends in -a in the nominative singular (e.g., puella - "girl").
- Neuter: Typically ends in -u in the nominative singular (e.g., bellum - "war").
- Ambiguous: Typically ends in -i in the nominative singular (e.g., analysi - "analysis").
- Indefinite: Typically ends in -e in the nominative singular (e.g., die - "day").
