IV. Second Declension Masculine - Latin in Layman's (REVAMPED)
from Latin in Layman’s - A Rhetoric Revolution · host Liam Connerly
Here, I go, in-depth, into the second declension, where second declension includes mostly masculine and neuter nouns with -o- at the end of their base. With the addition of the second declension, we add a whole new set of vocabulary into the mix. Yay, more words! I do my best to draw out the process of forming a second declension noun, please do your best to visualize a declension table or look one up for reference. Here are the endings for second declension masculine, beginning with the singular. The nominative singular: -us or in some cases -er The genitive singular: -i Dative: -o Accusative: -um Ablative: -o and an irregular vocative: -ě In the plural the endings are: -i -orum -is -os -is. The vocative is regular here in the plural. It’s identical to the nominative -i
