Declension of feminine nouns

2. Declension with the final vowel «ë»

Feminine nouns ending on «ë» are declined by the following system. Genitive, dative and ablative are as usual also declined similarly.
The indeterminate form of the ablative plural is the exception: it ends on «-sh».

Declension with the final vowel «ë» Example: këngë ('song')
	singular		plural
	indet. ('a/an')	det. ('the')	indet. ('a/an')	det. ('the')
Nominative	këngë	kënga	këngë	këngët
Genitive	i kënge	i këngës	i këngëve	i këngëve
Dative	kënge	këngës	këngëve	këngëve
Accusative	këngë	këngën	këngë	këngët
Ablative	kënge	këngës	këngësh	këngëve

3. Declension with the final vowel being an unstressed «e»

Nouns ending in an unstressed «e» will be declinated according to the scheme shown below.

The difference to the other declensions can also be seen here in the genitive, dative and ablative of the determinate form of the singular. Here, the ending is «-es».

Note!
In the other two declensions we have already seen, the endings for the 3 cases (genitive, dative and ablative, in each case for the determinate noun singular) were «-ës» or «-së».
If you don't remember this well, maybe go back before you look at the next table.

Declension with the final vowel «e» Example: mace ('cat')
	singular		plural
	indet. ('a/an')	det. ('the')	indet. ('a/an')	det. ('the')
