Feminine Singular Adjectives Declension

To decline feminine singular adjectives you have to use one of the groups of endings (notice, that they are slightly different than the groups for masculine singular adjectives):
  • group I - use it for adjectives ending in -y, -ki or -gi in singular masculine Nominative Case
  • group II - use it for adjectives ending in -i in singular masculine Nominative Case
Here are all the endings:
Feminine Singular Adjectives Endings
group Igroup II
Nominative Case-a-ia
Genitive Case-ej or -iej-iej
Dative Case=G
Accusative Case-ą-ią
Instrumental Case=A
Locative Case=G
Vocative Case=N
Notes:
  • Right-hand endings are the same as left-hand endings, the only difference is an additional -i-
  • Nominative Case and Vocative Case are the same
  • Genitive Case, Dative Case and Locative Case are the same
  • Accusative Case and Instrumental Case are the same
  • Genitive Case uses for the group I either -ej or -iej ending:
    • it uses -ej ending for nouns ending in -y
    • it uses -iej ending for nouns ending in -ki or -gi
