Metin nouns, while being less complex and central to the construction of a sentence as the verbs are, still form the second most important aspect of Metin grammar. They decline for four cases, and typically come after the verb in the sentence.[]
Noun declension types[]
M-absolutive[]
M absolutives are a very large noun class in the Metin language, formed from a large part from verb nominalizations. The m-absolutive of a verb stem typically refers to the product of said verb.
Consonant M-nouns
M nouns starting with a consonant typically start with mi-. The mi appears in the basic case and is replaced by the regular case prefixes in the others.
