Listen Later

We’ve already encountered first- and second-declension nouns. Now we’ll address the third. A fair question to ask, and one which some of you may be asking, is why is there a third declension at all? Third declension is Latin’s “catch-all” category for nouns.

(sing.) ---

(pl.) -es

2. Gentive

(pl.) -ibus

4. Accusative

(sing.) -em

(pl.) -es

5. Ablative

(sing.) -e

(pl.) -ibus
