''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]]

====Accusative Case==== '''Objects of a verb and the accusative case===='''
A noun is the object of a verb if the 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.
* Used with certain prepositions

====Indirect objects and the dative caseDative Case==== '''Indirect objects'''
Nouns that act as the indirect object are placed in the dative case in Greek.

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"
* Used with certain prepositions
* With a participle as the Genitive Absolute
* Used as the direct object for a few special-case verbs

Third Declension Nouns are those that are not First or Second Declension. There are numerous third declension forms.
Various irregular forms exist, however most feminine and masculine nouns follow the same standard pattern with a variable nominative case.
The stem of the verb noun is seen in the genitive case, not the nominative case.
The paradigm is as follows: '''variable ος ι α ες ων σι ας'''
For example the feminie noun [[ελπις]] (hope) declines as follows
In the plural dative form of these nouns the stem is sometimes modified
For example the dative plural of '''ελπις''' is '''ελπισι''' and not '''ελπιδσι'''
