| | Fortunately, most Gaelic nouns fall into groups which help you to find out what their vocative, dative, genitive, and nominative plural forms all are, because nouns tend to change in a consistent way throughout their cases. | | | So far the cases we've identified have been the "dative", which determines the changes made to nouns which follow a preposition, and the "vocative", which determines the changes made to nouns when they are being directly addressed. | | | The "default" case of nouns, the form they normally have in dictionaries for example, is known as the "nominative case" or "common form"; nouns are always in the nominative when they're used as the subject of a sentence and almost always when they're used as an object. |
