+ #### Adjective
600
 
601
+ [^6] Greek adjectives are formed using the [same 3 declensions that are used by Greek nouns](#noun-1). Furthermore, just as
602
+ each noun belongs to a particular declension, each adjective belongs to a specific declension family or grouping. There
603
+ are 4 main declension families:

+
605

609
+
610
+ ##### 1. Three-Ending Adjectives: 1st and 2nd Declension (2-1-2)
611
+
612
+ The vast majority of adjectives use _masculine_ and _neuter_ 2nd declension endings when modifying nouns of these
613
+ genders, and 1st declension endings when modifying _feminine_ nouns. For example,
614
+
615
+ __ἀγαθός, -ή, -όν__ _good, brave, noble_:
616
+
617
+ | **Singular** | **Masculine** | **Feminine** | **Neuter** |
618
+ |:--------------:|:-------------:|:------------:|:----------:|
619
+ | **Nominative** | ἀγαθός | ἀγαθή | ἀγαθόν |
620
+ | **Genitive** | ἀγαθοῦ | ἀγαθῆς | ἀγαθοῦ |
621
+ | **Dative** | ἀγαθῷ | ἀγαθῇ | ἀγαθῷ |
622
+ | **Accusative** | ἀγαθόν | ἀγαθήν | ἀγαθόν |
623
+
624
+ | **Plural** | **Masculine** | **Feminine** | **Neuter** |
625
+ |:--------------:|:-------------:|:------------:|:----------:|
626
+ | **Nominative** | ἀγαθοί | ἀγαθαί | ἀγαθά |
627
+ | **Genitive** | ἀγαθῶν | ἀγαθῶν | ἀγαθῶν |
628
+ | **Dative** | ἀγαθοῖς | ἀγαθαῖς | ἀγαθοῖς |
629
+ | **Accusative** | ἀγαθούς | ἀγαθάς | ἀγαθά |
630
+
631
+ If the stem of the adjective ends in __-ε__, __-ι__, or __-ρ__, the singular forms of the 1st declension change the
632
+ __-η-__ to __-ᾱ-__. Note that this change matches that of 1st declension nouns.
633
+
634
+ For instance, __δίκαιος, -α , -ον__ _just_
635
+
636
+ | **Singular** | **Masculine** | **Feminine** | **Neuter** |
637
+ |:--------------:|:-------------:|:------------:|:----------:|
638
+ | **Nominative** | δίκαιος | δικαία | δίκαιον |
639
+ | **Genitive** | δικαίου | δικαίας | δικαίου |
640
+ | **Dative** | δικαίῳ | δικαίᾳ | δικαίῳ |
641
+ | **Accusative** | δίκαιον | δικαίαν | δίκαιον |
642
+
643
+ Two common adjectives of the 2-1-2 type show additional small changes:
644
+
645
+ __μέγας, μεγάλη, μέγα__ (stem: __μεγαλ-__) _big_
646
+
647
+ | **Singular** | **Masculine** | **Feminine** | **Neuter** |
648
+ |:--------------:|:-------------:|:------------:|:----------:|
649
+ | **Nominative** | μέγας | μεγάλη | μέγα |
650
+ | **Genitive** | μεγάλου | μεγάλης | μεγάλου |
651
+ | **Dative** | μεγάλῳ | μεγάλῃ | μεγάλῳ |
652
+ | **Accusative** | μέγαν | μεγάλην | μέγα |
653
+
654
+
655
+ | **Plural** | **Masculine** | **Feminine** | **Neuter** |
656
+ |:--------------:|:-------------:|:------------:|:----------:|
657
+ | **Nominative** | μεγάλοι | μεγάλαι | μεγάλα |
658
+ | **Genitive** | μεγάλων | μεγάλων | μεγάλων |
659
+ | **Dative** | μεγάλοις | μεγάλαις | μεγάλοις |
660
+ | **Accusative** | μεγάλους | μεγάλας | μεγάλα |
661
+
662
+ Note that except for the singular forms μέγας, μέγαν, and μέγα, the adjective declines as a regular 2-1-2 adjective.
663
+
664
+ __πολύς, πολλή, πολύ__ (stem: __πολλ-__) _much, many_
665
+
666
+ | **Singular** | **Masculine** | **Feminine** | **Neuter** |
667
+ |:--------------:|:-------------:|:------------:|:----------:|
668
+ | **Nominative** | πολύς | πολλή | πολύ |
669
+ | **Genitive** | πολλοῦ | πολλῆς | πολλοῦ |
670
+ | **Dative** | πολλῷ | πολλῇ | πολλῷ |
671
+ | **Accusative** | πολύν | πολλήν | πολύ |
672
+
673
+ | **Plural** | **Masculine** | **Feminine** | **Neuter** |
674
+ |:--------------:|:-------------:|:------------:|:----------:|
675
+ | **Nominative** | πολλοί | πολλαί | πολλά |
676
+ | **Genitive** | πολλῶν | πολλῶν | πολλῶν |
677
+ | **Dative** | πολλοῖς | πολλαῖς | πολλοῖς |
678
+ | **Accusative** | πολλούς | πολλάς | πολλά |
679
+
680
+ Note that except for the singular forms πολύς, πολύν, and πολύ, the adjective declines as a regular 2-1-2 adjective.
681
+
682
+ ##### 2. Two-Ending 2nd Declension Adjectives (2-2)
683
+
684
+ [^7] A handful of adjectives, usually compounds, use 2nd declension endings for all genders. For these adjectives:
685
+
686
+ - both the masculine and feminine forms share the same endings as 2nd declension masculine nouns
687
+ - the neuter form shares the same endings as the 2nd declension neuter nouns.
688
+
689
+ For instance, __ἄδικος -ον__ _unjust_:
690
+
691
+ | **Singular** | **Masculine/Feminine** | **Neuter** |
692
+ |:--------------:|:----------------------:|:----------:|
693
+ | **Nominative** | ἄδικος | ἄδικον |
694
+ | **Genitive** | ἀδίκου | ἀδίκου |
695
+ | **Dative** | ἀδίκῳ | ἀδίκῳ |
696
+ | **Accusative** | ἄδικον | ἄδικον |
697
+
698
+ | **Plural** | **Masculine/Feminine** | **Neuter** |
699
+ |:--------------:|:----------------------:|:----------:|
700
+ | **Nominative** | ἄδικοι | ἄδικα |
701
+ | **Genitive** | ἀδίκων | ἀδίκων |
702
+ | **Dative** | ἀδίκοις | ἀδίκοις |
703
+ | **Accusative** | ἀδίκους | ἄδικα |
704
+
705
+ ##### 3. Two-Ending 3rd Declension Adjectives (3-3)
706
+
707
+ [^7] Another small group of adjectives uses 3rd DECLENSION endings for ALL GENDERS. For these adjectives:
708
+
709
+ - both the masculine and feminine forms share the same endings as the 3rd declension masculine/feminine nouns
710
+ - the neuter form uses the same endings as the 3rd declension neuter nouns.
711
+
712
+ These adjectives tend to fall into one of 2 groups:
713
+
714
+ 1. Adjectives ending in __-ης -ες__. These adjectives have a stem ending in __-εσ__.
715
+ 2. Adjectives ending in __-(ί)ων -(ι)ον__. These adjectives have a stem ending in __-(ι)ον__.
716
+
717
+ ##### 4. Three-Ending 1st and 3rd Declension Adjectives (3-1-3)
718
+
719
+ The final group of adjectives uses the 3rd declension endings for masculine and neuter, but the 1st declension endings
720
+ for feminine.
721
+
722
+ Note, however, that when modifying a feminine noun, these adjectives use SHORT -α- in the _nominative_ and _accusative_
723
+ singular. This change must be remembered, since it affects the accent of these adjectives. These adjectives tend to fall
724
+ into one of 2 groups:
725
+
726
+ 1. Adjectives ending in __-ς -σα -ν__. These adjectives have a stem ending in __-ντ__.
727
+ 2. Adjectives ending in __-ύς -εῖα -ύ__. These adjectives have a stem ending in __-ε__.
728
+
729
+ ##### Declension Template
730
+
731
+ Putting it all together, it can be concluded that Ancient Greek adjectives decline in rules with exceptions.
732
+ wilhelm-vocabulary, therefore, still literally list all declined entries of an adjective. The declension template is as
733
+ follows:
