![]() ![]() You will be presented with Latin adjectives differently depending on their declension. Determining whether an adjective is first/second declension or third declension, and, if it is third declension, whether it is one, two, or three termination will be explained further below. To get the ending of a one termination adjective, take the "is" off the genitive singular ending. To get the ending of a two termination adjective, still take the "is" off the M/F nominative singular. To get the ending of a three termination adjective, take the "is" off the feminine nominative singular. Note that the terminations only affect the nominative singular endings, not the nominative plural endings. Therefore, the marks (*) next to the endings in the chart were to note that those nominative singular endings could be different from the masculine nominative singular ending. This means that all the nominative endings for each gender are different (three termination), only the the neuter nominative singular ending is different from the others (two termination), or all the nominative singular endings are the same (one termination). ![]() The reason for this is because third declension adjectives can be a three termination adjective, two termination adjective, or one termination adjective. You may have noticed a "*" or "**" next to the feminine and neuter nominative singular endings. Third declension adjective endings are the same of the third declension I-stem nouns for the corresponding gender, except that for the masculine and feminine ablative endings, it is an "i" rather than an "e". Now, third declension adjectives will be explained. ![]()
