 Nouns in Knašta have no gender, and are all made plural by adding the suffix ''sin''.
-Nouns are inflected for two cases, nominative and genitive. The nominative form of the word is unchanged while the genitive form of the word contains the ''ins'' suffix, as seen in the below example.
+Nouns are inflected for three cases, nominative, genitive, and locative. The nominative form of the word is unchanged while the genitive form of the word contains the ''ins'' suffix, as seen in the below example. The locative case is formed by adding 'o' to the beginning of the word, except for the words ''travekatsjon'' (work, job), and ''mazak'' (house). The locative form of these two words is ''a sé travekatsjon'' and ''a sé mazak'', respectively.
-The use of ''ins'' is different in literature than in spoken language. [[Knašta/-Ins In Speech And Literature]] details these differences.
