The mystery of Accusative Case!

I will try to explain farther and with plain words the
accusative case. The official explanation of the Accusative case is: "Accusative is the case of the object. (Whom/what or with whom/with what)". In other words the object of the verb. The person or thing that the energy is transferred to.
My simplest explanation is that,
when you are talking about the person or the thing (not asking who or what they are), and not to the person or thing, you use accusative case. To explain this more, let's check a few phrases. Please pay attention to the explanations. I will try to think of every possible scenario and usage of the accusative case:
Example: Με τον πατέρα μου (with my father) (Accusative: he is the object) but Ποιος είναι αυτός; Ο πατέρας μου (Who is he? My father) (Nominative: he is the subject) Related Subjects: The Cases |
