      1st or ae- Declension

      Well, here's a useful chart. The second column is the one you need for the first declension. The first and the third column are for second one. So, here's it is:

      amica, ae, f means friend (female)

      SG                    PL

      N  amic -a          amic -ae

      G  amic -ae        amic -arum

      D  amic -ae        amic -is

      Ac amic -am      amic -as

      V  amic -a          amic -ae

      Ab amic -a        amic -is

      I have mentioned somewhere that N and V case are usually the same. This is the case with this declension. Ablative form amica may seem the same like nominative and vocative, but it isn't really. The final -a is long.

      Some words which follow the same pattern are:

      dea, ae, f - goddess

      filia, ae, f - daughter

      aqua, ae, f - water

      terra, ae, f - land

      patria, ae, f - homeland

      silva, ae, f - forest

      I've already mentioned them in my topic ''On Verb and Basic Verb Usage'', which you can find here - http://linguaholic.com/study-latin/on-verb-and-basic-verb-usage/

      Here are some more nouns which belong to this declension:

      symphonia, ae, f - harmony of sounds, symphony

      vesta, ae, f - garment, dress

      amphora, ae, f - jar

      corona, ae, f - crown

      herba, ae, f - grass

      pinna, ae, f - feather
