GRAMMAR. VOCABULARY. ETYMOLOGY.
NOUNS
All Latin nouns are either masculine, feminine, or neuter. This is called their gender. The gender is shown in the vocabulary by the letters m, f and n. Many masculine nouns end in —us, feminine nouns in —a and neuter nouns end in – um. But there are many exceptions and many other endings too. Men are masculine and women are feminine, but there is no way of guessing the gender of most things. You just have to learn them. The endings of words also change according to how they are used. The different endings are called cases.
Nomen substantivum: masculinum, femininum , neutrum.
Numerus: singularis, pluralis.
Casus: Noiminativus, Genitivus, Dativus, Accusativus, Ablativus, Vocativus The inflection of nouns, pronouns, and adjectives is called declension, and such words are said to be declined.
There are five basic groups of nouns in Latin. These declensions are distinguished from one another by the ending of the genitive singular for the first declension, this is -ae, for the second, -i, for the third, -is, for the fourth, -us, and for the fifth, -ei. At present we shall be concerned only with the first of these groups, the first declension.
Noun entries in the vocabulary lists are given in three parts:
Femina, -ae, f
The first of these parts is the nominative singular form; the second indicates the ending of the genitive singular; the third reveals the gender of the noun. Most nouns of the First Declension are feminine but there are a few which are masculine, as agricola, farmer, and nauta, sailor.
