I’m going to start with the 3rd declension adjectives known as 2 termination because the vast majority belong to this group i.e. in the nominative singular [i] masculine and feminine have the same ending and [ii] the neuter has a different ending.
Image #1: there are two NOUNS shown:
[A] is feminine and [B] is neuter; I’ll call them A and B because in [A]: all
3rd declension masculine and feminine adjectives decline the
same way as this noun: masculine and feminine 2 termination adjectives have no
difference between them
[B] is mare (sea);
that’s a neuter noun and its endings are a little different
from the masculine and feminine (marked in yellow).
Keep those endings in mind
and then look at:
Image #2: those are the ADJECTIVE
endings and you’ll see that the endings are the same as the nouns. The only
difference to note is that, while some NOUNS can have alternative ablative
singulars (-e or -ī), the ADJECTIVE only ends in -ī.
