    The plural form of the nominative case of the Latin third-declension masculine noun "mons" (mountain) is "montes". Here are all the inflected forms of "montes":

    Plural

    nominative: montēs (subject)

    vocative: montēs (o mountains!)

    accusative: montēs (direct object)

    genitive: montium (of mountains)

    dative: montibus (indirect object)

    ablative: montibus (by, with, from mountains)
