Case Charts

On this page we've provided charts about case changes for both nouns, singular and plural, and modifiers, also singular and plural.

When the chart says change to... you change the last letter of the word to the indicated letter(s) in the chart. When the chart says add... you just add the letter(s) provided to the end of the word.
Soft consonants are the consonants c, ć, č, dž, �‘, j, lj, nj, š, ž
