I’m starting to think I should have paid more attention in English class. Not only do I have to learn Greek, but it turns out I have to relearn parts of English, too.
When declining nouns, one of the things you have to determine is the case. There are apparently five cases in the Greek: nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, and vocative. From what I’ve found online, there are similar cases in the English language, but I don’t remember ever learning them. I don’t know if that’s because I simply forget, or if they don’t cover that sort of thing in school anymore.
