2-1-2 and 3rd Declension Adjectives(masculine-feminine-neuter)
Overview • Adjectives do not have to agree with nouns in declension. • However, they must agree with the nouns they modify in Gender, Number, and Case. • There are two types of adjectives, 2-1-2 and 3rd declension adjectives (2 and 1 terminations).
2-1-2 Adjectives • These adjectives can be identified by their nominative endings of us, a, and um. • The masculine form of a 2-1-2 adjective declines like the second declension. • The feminine form of the adjective declines like the first declension. • And the neuter form declines like the 2nd Declension Neuter.
3rd Declension Adjectives • All 3rd Declension Adjectives decline like the 3rd declension. • Some of these adjectives have the same ending for masculine and feminine, the neuter ending being different. • Others have the same ending for masculine, feminine, and neuter. These are called One Termination Adjectives.
