# '''Nominative Case''' (subject of the sentence)


== The Importance of Noun Cases ==
# '''Accusative Case''' (direct object)


Noun cases are an essential aspect of the Halh Mongolian language as they provide valuable information about the relationship between nouns and the other elements in a sentence. By changing the case of a noun, we can convey its role as a subject, object, possessor, location, and more. This level of specificity allows for clear and concise communication.
# '''Genitive Case''' (showing possession)


Understanding noun cases is particularly crucial for language learners as it helps to avoid ambiguity and confusion. By correctly using noun cases, you can express your thoughts accurately and ensure that your message is understood in the intended manner. Whether you are a beginner or have some knowledge of Halh Mongolian, mastering noun cases will greatly enhance your language skills and enable you to communicate effectively with native speakers.
# '''Dative Case''' (indicating direction or recipient)


== Nominative Case ==
# '''Locative Case''' (indicating location)


The nominative case is the simplest and most commonly used case in Halh Mongolian. It is used to indicate the subject of a sentence. Nouns in the nominative case do not undergo any changes or modifications. Let's take a look at some examples:
# '''Instrumental Case''' (indicating the means by which something is done)
 
Let’s dive deeper into each case, exploring their forms, functions, and providing examples to illustrate their usage.
 
==== 1. Nominative Case ====
 
The nominative case is used for the subject of the sentence, which is the noun performing the action of the verb. In Halh Mongolian, the nominative case typically does not have a special marker.  
 
Examples:

In the examples above, the nouns "Өдөр" (day), "хаан" (king), "хүүхэд" (child), and "ном" (book) are all in the nominative case. They serve as the subjects of the sentences and do not undergo any changes in their form.
'''Example Sentences:'''

2. '''Хүн ирж байна.''' (The person is coming.)


The accusative case is used to indicate the direct object of a verb or the recipient of an action. Nouns in the accusative case undergo changes in their form, typically by adding a suffix. Let's look at some examples:

'''Example Sentences:'''


== Genitive Case ==
1. '''Би хүүхдийг харав.''' (I saw the child.)


The genitive case is used to indicate possession or relationship. It answers the question "whose?" in Halh Mongolian. Nouns in the genitive case also undergo changes, usually by adding a suffix. Let's explore some examples:
