Nouns - Romanian Grammar

Nouns in the Romani language get a rich workout through numerous exercises integral to mastering the language. In these exercises, the focus is on the Romani’s unique noun structure, which includes gender, number, and case. It is important to understand that Romani nouns differentiate between masculine and feminine forms—children need to practice identifying the gender and applying the appropriate article accordingly.

Exercise tasks can range from simple identification of a noun to changing the number (singular or plural), both depending on the noun’s gender. These exercises are often reinforced through the creation of sentences in which the noun changes its case due to its function; either as a subject, object or possession. Moreover, learners are tasked with recognizing and using the seven Romani cases correctly in practice.

These exercises are incremental and allow a step-by-step understanding of the nouns in the Romani language. They effectively help students grasp how every Romani noun can have many endings, not only according to gender or number but also due to its function within the sentence.
