Editing Vocative case (section)

====Icelandic====
The vocative case generally does not appear in [[Icelandic language|Icelandic]], but a few words retain an archaic vocative declension from Latin, such as the word {{lang|is|[[wikt:Jesús#Icelandic|Jesús]]}}, which is {{lang|is|Jesú}} in the vocative. That comes from Latin, as the Latin for Jesus in the nominative is {{lang|la|Jesus}} and its vocative is {{lang|la|Jesu}}.
That is also the case in traditional English (without the accent) (see [[#English|above]]):
{{wiktionary|ó#Icelandic}} 
{| class="wikitable"
!Nominative
|{{lang|is|'''Jesús''' elskar þig.}}
|Jesus loves you.
|-
!Vocative
|{{lang|is|Ó '''Jesú''', frelsari okkar.}}
|O Jesus, our saviour.
|}
The native words {{lang|is|[[wikt:sonur#Icelandic|sonur]]}} {{gloss|son}} and {{lang|is|[[wikt:vinur#Icelandic|vinur]]}} {{gloss|friend}} also sometimes appear in the shortened forms {{lang|is|son}} and {{lang|is|vin}} in vocative phrases. Additionally, adjectives in vocative phrases are always weakly declined, but elsewhere with proper nouns, they would usually be declined strongly:
{| class="wikitable"
!strong adjective, full noun
|{{lang|is|Kær '''vinur''' er gulli betri.}}
|A dear friend is better than gold.
|-
!weak adjective, shortened noun
|{{lang|is|Kæri '''vin''', segðu mér nú sögu.}}
|Dear friend, tell me a story.
