A noun, in basic terms, is a word that is a thing or an object or a concept.
 
−
 
 
−
Examples include words like ''book'' ([[Βιβλιον]]) which is a thing or an object, and ''love'' ([[Αγαπη]]) which is a abstract concept or an idea.

===Function of nouns in a sentence===
 
−
 
 
−
Unlike English, in Koine Greek, nouns decline, that is, they undergo changes in their form depending upon their use in a sentence.
 
−
 
 
−
In Greek, nouns are classified as one of the following
 
−
* Nominative (the subject of a verb)
 
−
* Accusative (usually the direct object of a verb)
 
−
* Dative (usually the indirect object of a verb)
 
−
* Genitive (usually representing possession, or qualifying another noun)
 
−
* Vocative (a form of address)
 
−
 
 
−
Nouns can also be related to a preposition
 
−
 
 
−
----
 
−
====Nominative Case====
 
−
 
 
−
'''Subjects of a verb'''
 
−
 
 
−
----
 
−
====Accusative Case====
 
−
 
 
−
'''Objects of a verb'''
 
−
 
 
−
A noun is the object of a verb if the verb acts on that noun. For example, in the sentence "I read a book" the object is "a book"
 
−
 
 
−
In Greek, the noun is modified when it acts as the object. The noun is usually placed in the accusative case.
 
−
 
 
−
'''Other uses of the Accusative Case'''
 
−
 
 
−
* Used with certain prepositions
 
−
* To express motion towards
 
−
* To indicate a total length in time or geography
 
−
 
 
−
----
 
−
====Dative Case====
 
−
 
 
−
'''Indirect objects'''
 
−
 
 
−
Nouns that act as the indirect object are placed in the dative case in Greek.
 
−
 
 
−
'''Other uses of the Dative Case'''
 
−
 
 
−
* Used with certain prepositions
 
−
* To express location in space
 
−
* To indicate that the noun is an instrument (of a passive verb)
 
−
* Used as the direct object for a few special-case verbs (often for verbs to do with commanding or obeying)
 
−
* To indicate a point in time
 
−
 
 
−
----
 
−
====Genitive Case====
 
−
 
 
−
'''Qualifying'''
 
−
 
 
−
If a noun qualifies or possesses another noun, it is in the genitive case. In English, a noun is shown to be genitive by adding '''<nowiki>'s</nowiki>''', for example: "the man's house"
 
−
 
 
−
'''Other uses of the Genitive Case'''
 
−
 
 
−
* Used with certain prepositions
 
−
* To indicate the time during which an event occurred
 
−
* With a participle as the Genitive Absolute
 
−
* Used as the direct object for a few special-case verbs

===Abstract nouns===

===Declensions===
 
−
 
 
−
----
 
−
'''First Declension Feminine Nouns'''
 
−
 
 
−
----
 
−
'''Second Declension Masculine Nouns'''
 
−
 
 
−
----
 
−
'''Second Declension Neuter Nouns'''
 
−
 
 
−
----
 
−
'''Third Declension Feminine and Masculine Nouns'''
 
−
 
 
−
Third Declension Nouns are those that are not First or Second Declension. There are numerous third declension forms.
 
−
 
 
−
'''Variable-ος Form'''
 
−
 
 
−
Various irregular forms exist, however most feminine and masculine nouns follow the same standard pattern with a variable nominative case.
 
−
 
 
−
The stem of the noun is seen in the genitive case, not the nominative case.
 
−
 
 
−
The paradigm is as follows: '''variable ος ι α ες ων σι ας'''
 
−
 
 
−
For example the feminie noun [[ελπις]] (hope) declines as follows
 
−
 
 
−
{{Greek Noun
 
−
|ελπις
 
−
|ελπιδος
 
−
|ελπιδα
 
−
|ελπιδι
 
−
|ελπιδες
 
−
|ελπιδων
 
−
|ελπισι
 
−
|ελπιδας
 
−
}}
 
−
 
 
−
In the plural dative form of these nouns the stem is sometimes modified
 
−
* If the final vowel of the root ends in '''β''' or '''π''' or '''φ''' then this becomes '''ψ'''
 
−
* If the final vowel of the root ends in '''γ''' or '''κ''' or '''χ''' then this becomes '''χ'''
 
−
* If the final vowel of the root ends in '''τ''' or '''δ''' or '''ζ''' or '''θ''' then this becomes '''σ'''
 
−
 
 
−
For example the dative plural of '''ελπις''' is '''ελπισι''' and not '''ελπιδσι'''
 
−
 
 
−
'''ις-εως Form'''
 
−
 
 
−
'''ευς-εως Form'''
 
−
 
 
−
'''υς-ους Form'''
 
−
 
 
−

−
'''Third Declension Neuter Nouns'''
 
−
 
 
−
Third Declension Nouns are those that are not First or Second Declension. Various irregular forms exist, however most neuter nouns follow one of two standard patterns.
 
−
 
 
−
The first main group consists of those like [[σωμα]] (body) that end in an '''α'''. The paradigm is as follows: '''α ατος ατι α ατα ατων ασι ατα'''
 
−
 
 
−
For example, σωμα (body) declines like this
 
−
 
 
−
{{Greek Noun
 
−
|σωμα
 
−
|σωματος
 
−
|σωματι
 
−
|σωμα
 
−
|σωματα
 
−
|σωματων
 
−
|σωμασι
 
−
|σωματα
 
−
}}
 
−
 
 
−
The second main group consists of those like [[σκοτος]] (darkness) that end in '''ος'''. The paradigm is as follows: '''ος ους ει ος η ων εσι η'''
 
−
 
 
−
For example, σκοτος (darkness) declines like this:
 
−
 
 
−
{{Greek Noun
 
−
|σκοτος
 
−
|σκοτους
 
−
|σκοτει
 
−
|σκοτος
 
−
|σκοτη
 
−
|σκοτων
