Faroese has masculine, feminine and neuter nouns. Nouns inflect for case (nominative, accusative & dative) and definiteness (indefinite & definite).
Here goes the indefinite inflection only:
Masculine noun: armur “arm”
| Sing. | Pl. | |
|---|---|---|
| Nom. | armur | armar |
| Acc. | arm | |
| Dat. | armi | ørmum |
Masculine noun: granni “neighbour”
| Sing. | Pl. | |
|---|---|---|
| Nom. | granni | grannar |
| Acc. | granna | |
| Dat. | grannum |
From what I can see, it looks like there are two types of masculine nouns: those ending in -ur and those with other endings. The book says something about human / non-human / animate / inanimate, but I couldn’t quite understand the whole thing (the text seems to contradict the illustration, I don’t know).
