565: Declension Jun 25, 2016
The nouns of certain languages change their form depending on the way they function in a sentence, similar to the way as English speakers say 'he' 'his' and 'him'. This process, called 'declining' is seemingly very different from the way people use the word to mean going down or growing smaller. Nevertheless,in grammar, the case of the down was thought to start from the subject, and go down in importance thereafter. So in this way, moral declining and grammatical declining are not so different.
