    Lesson 2: Introduction to nouns; first declension nouns;
    cases of nouns
    First declension nouns
    Nouns are divided into groups called declensions . Nouns that end in a belong to the first declension. They
    are mostly feminine.
    The first part of a noun stays the same, but endings are added to give different meanings:
    Singular Meaning Plural
    carta
    charter(s)
    Subject of the sentence: A charter costs 2 pounds.
    carte
    carta Oh charter(s)! carte
    cartam
    charter(s)
    Object of the sentence: The king grants the charter.
    cartas
    carte
    of the charter(s)
    The seal of the charter is broken.
    cartarum
    carte
    to or for the charter(s)
    They refer to the charters.
    cartis
    carta
    by, with or from the charter(s)
    He claims the land by a charter.
    cartis

    The ending of a noun is crucial, as it tells you
    whether the noun is singular or plural
    what role the noun is playing in the sentence
    Read through carta again. Can you see that some endings are the same, but have different meanings?
    For example, carte means
    Charters
    Of the charter
    To or for the charter
    To decide which meaning is appropriate, read the rest of the sentence.
    For example, if part of a sentence is she asked the king and the remaining word is carte, the meaning of carte
    that would make sense is for the charter.
    All first declension nouns take the same endings as carta except
    anima soul
    filia daughter
    filiabus means to or for the daughters and by, with or from the daughters
    animabus means to or for the souls and by, with or from the souls
    A few first declension nouns are masculine. You are only likely to come across these three words:
    agricola farmer
    papa pope
    parsona parson
    You can see that a noun has six different meanings, each relating to a case .
    Each case has a singular and a plural ending.
    To decline a noun means to list these cases.
