Faroese has masculine, feminine and neuter nouns. Nouns inflect for case (nominative, accusative & dative) and definiteness (indefinite & definite).<\/p>\n

Here goes the indefinite inflection only:<\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n
