The nominiative case is the forms of nouns and pronouns that are Subjet and complement. In Old norse, this is done by adding a -r suffix to the base form of the noun.

accusative

The accusative case is the forms that are objects, or prepositional. For example: "He saw a goat", "He" is the subject, "saw" is the verb/action, and "a goat" is the object.

prepositional

The prepositional case, sometimes called "Indirect Object", is where an noun or pronoun is in used not directly relivant to the verb. For example, in "He tossed the ball at the dog", "He tossed the ball" is complete as a sentance. The "at the dog" clause mearly says the destination.

The "I" form, Me, Myself, and I.
