21st Century Classical Greek -- noun case quiz

This week is a quiz on noun cases. Go through these and identify where they go in my system – oi, -on, -ous, -ois. Some of them have articles and you were supposed to memorize those. Some are plural so it’s obvious. Go for it.

I.1.

τὸν πόλεμον

τῶν Πελοποννησίων καὶ Ἀθηναίων

τῶν προγεγενημένων

τῇ πάσῃ

τὸ ἄλλο Ἑλληνικὸν

τοῖς Ἕλλησιν

τῶν βαρβάρων

τὰ …τὰ

τοὺς πολέμους

τὰ ἄλλα.

 

I.2.

τὰ πρότερα

τὴν …ἀπολείποντες

τῆς ἐμπορίας

τῆς .. τροφῆς

τῇ ἄλλῃ παρασκευῇ.

 

These you should be able to tell because they are plural and the endings look like the definite article plural.

I.1

ἀμφότεροι

ἑκατέρους

ἀνθρώπων

τεκμηρίων

 

I.2

πλειόνων

χρημάτων

ἀτειχίστων

 

By the way, notice in 2.2, that khrimaton ouk ekhontes is another negation taking the -on case.

So don’t you feel a little better about knowing noun cases?

I am going to leave the “gender” labels alone even though, as I said, they do not predict declension. It won’t matter  because you are going to learn each noun as you come to it instead of memorizing categories that don’t apply to all similar nouns and end up being more confusing than helpful.
