akkuszátív

Akkuszativ is a grammatical case, primarily found in Indo-European languages, used to mark the direct object of a verb. In languages that employ the accusative case, it signifies the noun or pronoun that directly receives the action of the transitive verb. For example, in Latin, the sentence "The dog sees the cat" would be structured such that "cat" is in the accusative case to indicate it is what is being seen. Many European languages, including German, Russian, and Czech, retain the accusative case, though its grammatical function and the way it is marked can vary. In some languages, the accusative case is indicated by specific word endings, while in others, its presence might be inferred from word order or the absence of other case markings. English has largely lost its distinct accusative case, with pronouns retaining remnants, such as "me" versus "I," where "me" functions as the object. The accusative case is distinct from other cases like the nominative (subject), genitive (possession), or dative (indirect object). Understanding the accusative case is crucial for comprehending the grammatical structure and syntax of many languages.
