Nouns have 3 genders (m, f, n), 2 numbers (sg, pl) and 3 cases (nom, gen, prep/dat), and also inflect for definiteness. The dative is used for indirect objects, and sometimes for prepositional objects. When a preposition can use both the dative and the accusative, the dative denotes being at the location and the nominative denotes motion towards the location. | Nouns have 3 genders (m, f, n), 2 numbers (sg, pl) and 3 cases (nom, gen, prep/dat), and also inflect for definiteness.
