SDLC 110 Bi-weekly Learning #3

[Daniel Matthew Kunath]

This week’s lesson focused on nouns. We discussed the names for the various categories, and talked about the genders and cases.  Most importantly, we covered how to tell them apart and interpret them.  Some of the endings are the same among different genders, so this involves some rote memorization of endings for some words which defy the regular rules.  I just had to pound away at them to memorize, but the entire language can’t just come naturally to me, so I am at peace with that fact.  Some of these frustrated me at first, but I became more used to seeing the irregularities and accounting for them, and have made the recognition of case, number, and gender much more naturalized.
