3 Review Stem: usually the first few letters of the lexical form.
E.g. γραφή γραφ- Case ending: The part the changes to tell you case and number. E.g. γραφή ή Nominative (The Subject Case) Accusative (the Object Case)

4 Ἰησους (hit) τον ἀνθρωπον. = τον ἀνθρωπον (hit) Ἰησους.
Review In English, cases are largely based on word order. “Jesus hit the man.” ≠ “The man hit Jesus.” subj obj subj obj Because of inflection, word order doesn’t matter in Greek. The subject stays the subject wherever it is in the sentence. ^Both sentences mean “Jesus hit the man.”^ Ἰησους (hit) τον ἀνθρωπον. = τον ἀνθρωπον (hit) Ἰησους. subj (nom) obj (acc) obj (acc) subj (nom)

19 Noun Translation Hints
Look for the nominative. When you see a new sentence, look for the nominative noun. That’s your subject. Look for the article. the article is your cheat-code to parsing nouns. If you know the article, you know the case, and number, and usually the gender. Look for iota subscripts. usually an iota subscript is a clue that a dative is present. In the singular dative the iota always subscripts if possible.

20 Noun Translation Hints
Watch out for the alternate 1st declension pattern. some words in the first declension follow an α pattern in the singular instead of an η pattern. Always look just past the nouns you see, to see if a genitive is modifying it. Genitives usually follow the word they modify. e.g. ὁ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ... break up the sentence into manageable chunks. if manageable for you is one word at a time, then go one word at a time. Your manageable will grow, but always try to push yourself to bigger chunks.
