Note to Instructors
by E. Wampuszyc

The plural form of nominative feminine nouns can be easily learned if a student knows the principles of

  • case
  • noun stem
  • hard consonants, soft consonants and hardened consonants
  • feminine nouns with zero endings (that end in a consonant)

These exercises require the student to deduce some of the feminine plural endings of nouns in the nominative case. Endings that are more irregular or difficult to deduce are explained in more detail. Vocabulary has been limited to typical elementary vocabulary, except in cases where there is an exception or rule that requires less common vocabulary. Feminine nouns ending in soft or hardened consonants have been organized at the end and can be eliminated from the material if students have not studied this aspect of feminine nouns.
