Aromanian noun declensions - What do you think?

Post by geltreo »

Before we start I would like to clarify that these segments were taken and translated from a partially Greek propagandistic-partially academic pdf book, obviously written in Greek (and partially in Latin script because Aromanian is written with Latin script). I think if you ignore the Greek propaganda and rambling pieces that actually at some segments make no sense the pdf academic book can be quite accurate regarding the grammar it was supposedly to purely represent. Ready? Alright. Aromanian noun declensions are initially separated based article into "articulate declensions" and "inarticulate nouns" and both of these declensions have Type A' and Type B' ways of different declensions in them. Today I will decline a neuter noun. Let's take the neuter noun trup(u) = body:


Inarticulate Declension



A' Type

Singular Number

Nom. unã trup(u)
Gen. a unlui trup(u)
Dat. a unlui trup(u)
Accu. unã trup(u)
Voc. -

Plurar Number

Nom. nishte trupuri
Gen. di nishte trupuri
Dat. trã nishte trupuri
Accu. nishte trupuri

B' Type

Nom. nishte trupuri
Gen. di nishte trupuri
Dat. trã nishte trupuri

Articulate Declension



A' Type

Singular Number

Nom. trup(u) + lu = truplu
Gen. a trup(u) + lui = a truplui
Dat. a trup(u) + lui = a truplui
Accu. trup(u) + lu = truplu
Voc. trup(u)

Plurar Number

Nom. trupuri + le = trupurle
Gen. a trupuri + lor(u) = a trupurloru
Dat. a trupuri + lor(u) = a trupurloru

B' Type
Singular Number

Gen. dila trup(u)
Dat. trã trup(u)
