Nouns in the Irish Language
Home > Wombat's Grammar Guide > Nouns
Irish has a case system as in Latin. Here are the main cases you need to know about:
| Case | Use |
|---|---|
| nominative | The ordinary or common form of the noun when it is the subject or object of a sentence. |
| genitive | Used when one noun directly follows another noun, a compound preposition, a quantity word, or one of a few special prepositions. |
| vocative | Used when addressing someone. |
