''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]]

==Lesson==
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, σωμα (body) declines like this
The second main group consists of those like [[σκοτος]] (darkness) that end in '''ος'''. The paradigm is as follows: '''ος ους ει ος η ων εσι η'''
For example, σκοτος (darkness) declines like this:
