accusatívny

accusatívny is a term used in linguistics, primarily in the context of grammar. It refers to a case in inflectional languages, most commonly found in Indo-European languages like Latin, German, and Russian. The accusative case typically marks the direct object of a transitive verb. This means it indicates the noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb.

For example, in the sentence "The dog chases the ball," the word "ball" is the direct object and would likely be in the accusative case in a language that employs it. In languages without a distinct accusative case, word order or prepositions often serve the function of marking the direct object.

The accusative case can also have other functions depending on the specific language. It may be used after certain prepositions, to indicate the destination of motion, or to express duration of time. The exact grammatical roles and forms associated with the accusative case vary significantly between languages. Its presence and form are a key feature of a language's morphological system, indicating grammatical relationships between words in a sentence.
