 ===Nouns===
-====<u>Cases</u>====
+====Cases====
 Nouns in Makari are inflected using 7 cases :
-=====Nominative=====
-The nominative case in Makari is used to mark the subject of a sentence, or to mark both the subject and the predicate in copular sentences.
-=====Genitive=====
-The genitive case is used for alienable possession, and is used as the agent of verbs of experience.
-For example: «Ćirát anícaúra» means "I am cold", and here, «ćirát» is the genitive form of «će»
+{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; width:30em"
-=====Dative=====
+|+ Makari case system
-The dative case is used to mark the indirect object of a sentence, the direct object of verbs of possession, is used with «{{term|já}}» to indicate inalienable possession and helps to convey the role of the [[w:Lative case|lative case]].
+|-
-=====Accusative=====
+! Case !! Usage
-The accusative case is used to indicate the direct object of a verb. It derived from the merging between the Accusative and the Partitive, loaned from the Kinavel case system
+|-
-=====Locative=====
+| Nominative || Subject of a verb (+ predicate)
-The locative case is used to indicate a position  in space, a motion away from a place, and can be used as a derivation method to derive names of places.
+|-
+| Genitive || Alienable possession, subject of verbs of experience
+|-
+| Dative || Indirect object, direct object of verbs of possession, inalienable possession (with «{{term|já}}»), lative case
+|-
+| Accusative || Direct object
+|-
+| Locative || Position in space, movement away from, derivation method
+|-
+| Vocative || Apostrophe
+|-
+| Prepositional || Objects of prepositions
+|}
-Ex: «heír» "tree" becomes «háritia» "forest"
+====Numbers====
-=====Vocative=====
+In Makari, nouns are inflected using two numbers (or three depending on when the word was loaned) :
-The vocative case is only used when doing a apostrophe to someone. It is slowly diseappearing, and is getting replaced by the nominative case
+* Singular
+* Paucal (Merged with the plural)
-=====Prepositional=====
+* Plural
-The prepositional case is used after prepositions. This case is derived from an old usage of the Kinavel locative case, which is a reason for why it is declined using the locative stem
 ====Paradigms====
