IV. Second Declension Masculine - Latin in Layman's (REVAMPED)

Listen Later

Here, I go, in-depth, into the second declension, where second declension includes mostly masculine and neuter nouns with -o- at the end of their base. With the addition of the second declension, we add a whole new set of vocabulary into the mix. Yay, more words! I do my best to draw out the process of forming a second declension noun, please do your best to visualize a declension table or look one up for reference. 

Here are the endings for second declension masculine, beginning with the singular.

  • The nominative singular: -us or in some cases -er
  • The genitive singular: -i
  • Dative: -o
  • Accusative: -um
  • Ablative: -o
  • and an irregular vocative: -ě

    • In the plural the endings are:

    • -i
    • -orum
    • -is
    • -os
    • -is.
    • The vocative is regular here in the plural. It’s identical to the nominative -i
