23.04.25: Level 1; readings [6] - [11]: review (9); adjectives [iv]; 1st / 2nd declension adjectives [iii]

Masculine adjectives of this class are declined like dominus, and neuters like pīlum i.e. the adjectives happen to have the same endings as the nouns.

Note:  the table lists a vocative masculine singular form of the adjective i.e. bone; this is the only occurrence of a separate vocative ending for an adjective which is why D’Ooge only lists it in the singular

amīcus, -ī, m., friend (amicable)

Germānia, -ae, f., Germany

patria, -ae, f., fatherland

populus, -ī, m., people
