Sanskrit/Nouns

Gender and ending
Sanskrit nouns come in the three standard genders: masculine, neuter, and feminine. A noun's declension class depends on its gender and ending. Most nouns end in vowels, with some ending in consonants.

Feminine noun endings
Feminine nouns may end in आ, इ, ई, उ, ऊ, or ऋ.

Masculine noun endings
Masculine nouns may end in अ, इ, उ, or ऋ.

Number and Case
In dictionaries, Sanskrit nouns are often listed in root-form (मूलरूप). Sanskrit nouns are highly inflected, and change form depending on the number (singular (एककवचन), dual (द्विवचन), and plural (बहुवचन)) and the case (nominative, accusative, instrumental, dative, ablative, genitive, locative or vocative).

Masculine noun endings
Masculine nouns may end in अ, इ, उ, or ऋ.
