maritimo: (others)

 As known by my dear mutuals and friends, I am always struggling academically. So I'm retyping some of my latin notes on here to help me understand them and make whoever read this be aware of what I'm going throught for my degree. Also I'm loosely translating the terms they won't match up at all with official latin grammar in english lmfao. Just a warning.

Latin nouns are divided in 5 different declinations, to differentiate between these declinations you must check the genitive case. 1st declination nouns are mainly feminine, and sometimes masculine, their theme is a (stella, terra, poeta, nauta) and the genitive ending is -ae. 2nd declination nouns exist in the three gramatical genders, their theme is o (ludus, taurus, pirus, podium) and the genitive ending is -i. 3rd declination nouns exist in the three gramatical genders, their theme is i or consonants (ciuis, orator, turbo, mater, caput) and the genitive ending is -is. 4th declination nouns exist in the three gramatical genders, their theme is u (punctus, manus, cornu) and the genitive ending is -us. 5th declination nouns are feminine, their theme is e (fides, res, spes, series, facies) save for two masculine exceptions (dies, meridies) and the genitive ending is -ei

Distinguishing the cases:

Nominative: subject and predicative of the subject (the first form of the latin word).
Vocative: word is used to get attention.
Acusative: direct object and predicative of the direct object (verbal complement).
Ablative: corresponds as multiple types of adverbial adjunts ("com o que", "pelo o que", "por meio de").
Dative: complement "para quem" (indirect object or noun complemente with prepositions "a" or "para")
Genitive: adnominal adjunt of possession. 

Examples
:
Statuae poetarum patriam ornant
(nom. pl.) (gen. pl.) (ac. s.) (verb).
The statues of the poets decorate the country.

Incola silvae capream plagis captat.
(nom. s.) (gen. s.) (ac. s.) (abl. pl.) (verb).
