2. Unlike English nouns, Mermish nouns have case endings
which change depending on the role the word has in the
sentence.
There are five principle cases in Mermish and each case can
be singular or plural for a total of ten endings, similar to
Latin:
Nominitibes, which is used for subjects and predicate
nominatives
Genitibes, which is used for possessive
Datibes, which is used for indirect objects
Akusatibes, which is used for direct objects and some objects
of preposition
Ablatibes, which is used for objects of preposition and all
other possible uses of nouns in Mermish not covered by the
other four cases
3. Mermish nouns are categorized into declensions. All
nouns of the same declension use the same set of ten
endings.
There are six declensions, and each declension
contains nouns that share similar properties
We will go through these six declensions, starting with
the first declension and learning its endings. All nouns
of the first declension have the same ten case
endings, with no irregularities.
4. Case Singular Plural
Nominitibes pesha peshe
Genitibes p peshau peshāren
Datibes peshau peshāte
Akusatibes peshan peshāne
Ablatibes peshā peshāte
First declension nouns are all non-sentient living
creatures, like animals, plants, bacteria, etc.
We will be working with the noun , which you
should be able to read as pesha and know its meaning
is “fish”
