Grammatical Case of Linguano

Grammatical case is the way you change or modify a word to fit the place it has in a sentence. In English, basic grammatical case is in use for pronouns (he, his, him). But in Linguano, we have Latin grammatical case.

The cases are NOVAGEDA:
Nominative
Vocative
Accusative
Genitive
Dative
Ablative 

Dative = to, for
Ablative = with (instrumental), prepositions
Locative = place

The Pattern

Pattern for feminine declension:
Mensa
Mensae
Mensam
Mensai
Mensaa
Mense

Pattern for closer to Classical feminine declension:
Mensa
Mense
Mensam
Mensai
Mensae
Mensaa

Pattern for masculine declension:
Domino
Dominoe
Dominom
Domini/oi
Dominoo
Dominu

You can choose the Classical feminine if you want to be closer to Latin grammar. But, the regular one is easier to remember as it mirrors the masculine one.

For plural form, you just need to at -s at the end of each word.

The Adjectives

Adjectives follow the case of the noun.

"Mangom deliciosom"  = delicious apple
"Casa bella" = beautiful house

The Articles

"Mangio nom mangom" = I eat an apple
"Lo cano mangia lom mangom" = the dog eats the apple

The Proper Names

Proper names do not have declension. Grammatical words like "de, a, ab, in" are used instead. Another option is, to add articles with declension to give the information.

"la casa de Maria"  = the house of Mary
"la casa lai Maria"
"Aurelius flamba lom Antonio" = Aurelius burns Antonio

For humans and living beings, the gender conforms to its real gender.

For places and things, the gender are distributed according to its final as below.

Masculine: consonant, u, i, o, au, eu, oe
Feminine: a, e, ai, ae, ua, ue

Words ending with -s, -x, -z, -ts, -dz, -sh are pluralized by adding -'s (with aphostrophe read as scwha).

Word Order

Because of the cases, word order is pretty laxed. You can change the order without changing the meaning especially with Subject and Object.

Note:
Cultural personal names from Romance countries with final -o/a can have normal declensions. It is especially used in Christian writings to match the Latin.
