Nominative Case (Mianownik) - Feminine Singular Nouns

Feminine singular nouns in Nominative Case take the following endings:
Feminine Singular Nominative Case
Endings
a
i
∅
Some masculine nouns use feminine endings.
The
∅
no ending
symbol indicates that there is no ending.

The
a
ending usage

The singular Nominative Case form is the dictionary form that you should memorize when you learn a new noun. Most feminine nouns end with
a
ending.
Some masculine nouns also take the
a
ending.
To decline them:
  • use feminine endings in singular number
  • use masculine endings in plural number
I advise you to learn every noun together with its gender, so that you know which endings to use.
Examples
Feminine Singular Nominative CaseEnglish
książkaa book
kobietaa woman
lampaa lamp
chmuraa cloud
mężczyzna
a man
kierowca
a driver

The
i
ending usage

There are a few feminine nouns that end with this ending.
Examples
Feminine Singular Nominative CaseEnglish
gospodynia housekeeper
pania lady
boginia goddess

The
∅
no ending
ending usage

There are a fair number of feminine nouns that end with a consonant just like masculine nouns. To decline them:
  • use feminine endings in singular number
  • use feminine endings in plural number
I advise you to learn every noun together with its gender.
Examples
Feminine Singular Nominative CaseEnglish
twarza face
myśla thought
kośća bone
podpowiedźa hint
