Appendix:Slovene nouns/fourth masculine declension

Fourth masculine declension follow all masculine nouns that have ending in genitive singular. These nouns are actually nominalized adjectives and they follow the same declensional pattern as definite adjectives.

Basic sample
This declension differentiates between animate and inanimate nouns, however the vast majority of nouns are animate because they take the isolated form in accusative singular and then the preceding adjectives also take the ending, which is used for animate nouns. This process is also common for nouns that would not usually be classified as animate.

Alterations

 * Some nouns have ending in nominative singular, nominative plural, and accusative singular if inanimate.
