This program will drill you on fifth declension nouns in a variety of constructions. We will also introduce non-declinable and borrowed (mostly Greek) nouns, which follow different (simplified) declensions from the first four we have studied.
In the Practice Sentences section, uses for each of Latin's 6 cases are given with examples using nouns in both the singular and plural.
This is the "default" case you'll look up in dictionaries. It often corresponds to the subject of a sentence.
diēs cōnservābitur.
The day will be saved.
diēs laudātæ erant.
The days had been praised.
pars diēī
part of the day
caput diērum
head of days
Cui diēī librum dedistī?
To which day did you give the book?
Crēde diēbus.
Trust your days.
diem cōnservābit.
He will save the day.
Bonās diēs nōbīs dent nē malās legāmus.
Let them give us good days so that we may not read bad ones.
cum diē
with a(n) day
dē diēbus
