Twelfth graders meet a feature that makes Greek special — its case system (πτώσεις). Nouns change form for their role in a sentence: Ονομαστική (the subject), Γενική (“of” / possession), Αιτιατική (the object), and Κλητική (for calling someone). Few living European languages still keep a full case system.
