''Synopsis:'' A noun, in basic terms, is a word that is a thing or an object or a concept. Examples include words like ''book'' ([[Βιβλιον]]) which is a thing or an object, and ''love'' ([[Αγαπη]]) which is a abstract concept or an idea. Unlike English, in Koine Greek, nouns decline, that is, they undergo changes in their form depending upon their use in a sentence. ----__TOC__{{topics}}Infobox_Contents |topic_name = Greek Nouns |* subtopics = [[Koine Greek: Prepositions|Prepositions]]

===Function of nouns in a sentence===
Nouns can also be related to a preposition
----====Nominative Case==== '''Subjects of a verb and ''' ----====Accusative Case==== '''Objects of a verb''' A noun is the object of a verb if the nominative verb acts on that noun. For example, in the sentence "I read a book" the object is "a book" In Greek, the noun is modified when it acts as the object. The noun is usually placed in the accusative case. '''Other uses of the Accusative Case''' * Used with certain prepositions* To express motion towards* To indicate a total length in time or geography ----====Dative Case====

====Genitive Case====
'''Qualifying'''
If a noun qualifies or possesses another noun, it is in the genitive case. In English, a noun is shown to be genitive by adding '''<nowiki>'s</nowiki>''', for example: "the man's house"
'''Other uses of the Genitive Case'''
* Used with certain prepositions
* To indicate the time during which an event occurred
* With a participle as the Genitive Absolute
* Used as the direct object for a few special-case verbs
