Nominative — noun is used as subject.
Vocative — for addressing people
Accusative — object of sentence (at the receiving end of the verb)
Genitive — possessive — of the noun.
Dative — indirect object — to or for the noun
Ablative — by, with or for the noun.

Nominative: nouns
Genitive: possesion
Dative: indirect objects
Accusative: direct objects, and accusative of time (I do not remember been 2 years since i took latin it might not be time)
Ablative: means of doing something this declension is difficult to explain and understanding comes with indepth study.
But each ending depending on whether it is masculine feminine or neuter represents one of these….
