The following is a Noun of the First Declension declined throughout, with the ordinary translations of the cases added. Nouns of other Declensions may be declined after the same model.
| singular | plural | |
| Nom. | mênsă, A table | mênsae, tables |
| Voc. | mênsă, table! | mênsae, tables! |
| Acc. | mênsam, a table | mênsâs, tables |
| Gen. | mênsae, of a table | mênsârum, of tables |
| Dat. | mênsae, to or for a table | mênsîs, to or for tables |
| Abl. | mênsâ, with or from a table | mênsîs, with or from tables |
The student should observe that the translation of the Nominative is distinguished from the translation of the Accusative by a capital letter: A table. Tables. The reason of this is that the Nominative is the case of the Subject, which usually begins the sentence in English.
