=Basic Grammar=

Substantives
Nova Latina's substantive are devided into five categories which are nouns, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, and articles. The following are the description:

Nouns
Nouns are declined according to numbers and cases. Nova Latina has two numbers, singular and plural, and four cases, nominative, genitive, ablative, and accusative. For nouns or any substantives to be declined, they are grouped into three classes, first, second, and third declension. The noun stems are classified based on the ending which are -o/-u, -a, and -e.

Stem -o/-u
 * Nominative(s/p): -us/-i  eg.: alberus/alberi
 * Genitive (s/p): -i/-oro  eg.: alberi/alberoro
 * Ablative (s/p): -o/-is   eg.: albero/alberis
 * Accusative (s/p): -um/-oi eg.: alberum/alberos

Stem -a
 * Nominative(s/p): -a/-e   eg.:
 * Genitive (s/p): -e/-aro  eg.:
 * Ablative (s/p): -ate/-abo eg.:
 * Accusative (s/p): -am/-as eg.:

Stem -e
 * Nominative(s/p): -e/-i   eg.:
 * Genitive (s/p): -ei/-io  eg.:
 * Ablative (s/p): -ete/-ibo eg.:
 * Accusative (s/p): -em/-es eg.:

Adjectives

 * Positive: declined like nouns (every adjective either ends in -us, -a, or -e)
 * Comparative 1: formed by adding the word 'plus'
 * Comparative 2: formed by adding the suffix -ore(-e stem)
 * Superlative 1: formed by the word 'il plus'
 * Superlative 2: formed by adding the suffix -issimus

Numbers
Unlike the Classical Latin language, Nova Latina applies declension to numerals just like any other adjectives. The paradigm will be based upon the declination for the numeral one, two, three, or one thousand in the Classical language.

For cardinal:
 * unus, una
 * dui, duae
 * tres
 * quattores
 * cinques
 * sessi (declined like a singular third declension adjective)
 * sette
 * ottus (declined like a singular third declension adjective)
 * nove
 * dece

For 11 to 19, it would be formed as the following:
 * 11, 14, 19 are formed by erasing the 2 final letters of each numerals plus deces. Thus: undeces, quattordeces, noveces or noudeces
 * 12, 13, 18 are formed by erasing the final most letter of the numeral plus deces
