akuzatyvo

Akuzatyvo is a term primarily used in Esperanto grammar to denote the accusative case. The accusative case is a grammatical case that marks the object of a transitive verb. In Esperanto, the accusative case is formed by adding the suffix "-n" to the end of a noun or pronoun. For example, "domo" (house) becomes "domon" when it is the direct object of a verb, as in "Mi vidas domon" (I see a house).

The accusative in Esperanto serves several functions beyond marking the direct object. It is also used to indicate direction towards a place, such as in "Mi iras Londonon" (I am going to London). Additionally, it can be used to express duration of time, as in "Mi studis tri horojn" (I studied for three hours). The presence of the accusative suffix "-n" is a distinctive feature of Esperanto, distinguishing it from many other constructed and natural languages where case marking is less explicit or absent. Understanding the accusative is fundamental to constructing grammatically correct sentences in Esperanto. Its flexible application allows for clarity and precision in expressing relationships between words in a sentence.
