Q. With regards to a language? English examples would be greatly appreciated!!
Asked by Viktor77 - Thu Jan 24 17:16:11 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Nominative -- subject of sentence, person doing the action. Accusative - object, the thing/person at the receiving end. Dative -- indirect object -- the thing/person to or for something is done. Genitive -- possessive. With the words "the book of the boy" "the book" would be nominative and "of the boy" genitive. I (nom) wrote a book (acc) and gave it (acc) to the boy (dat.) It is now his (genitive).
