How to inflect:
Masculine - Very irregular. If it ends in ‘i’ in the nominative case, it will end in ‘a’ in the dative form.
Feminine - If there is no nominative ending, do not add one in the accusitive form. If it ends in ‘a’, change it to ‘ur’.
Neutral - Add ‘i’

Question 5

Genitive case

Answer 5

Used to indicate posession (Ex. In the sentence ‘That is his book’, ‘his’ would be in the genitive case)
How to inflect:
Masculine - Add ‘s’ to the end. If it ends in ‘i’ in its nominative form, it will end in ‘a’ in the genetive form.
Feminine - If a noun ends in ‘a’, it will take ‘ar’ as its ending in the genitive form. Nouns without an ending end with ‘ur’.
Neutral - Add ‘s’.
