Nubehexian 1/Nominative and 1st Declension Accusative
In the previous section, the various subject pronouns were introduced alongside the to be verb (copula). Now, using this information, the nominative and accusative cases will be discussed in significant detail.
The Nominative Case
[edit | edit source]The nominative case is essentially the dictionary form of a noun. This means that basic sentences that do not provide nouns with a particular role in relation to the other words of the sentence will incorporate the nominative case for nouns (which means that they are not inflected, per se). In order to practice using the nominative case, below is some basic vocabulary that will be incorporated in the sentences for this section. Also, take note that the suffixes in parentheses indicate the spelling of the plural form of the word (if it is a noun).
