The nominative case, aside from being the dictionary form of a noun, is also the subject of a verb, and/or topic of a noun phrase. The accusative case marks nouns which are the direct objects of verbs and is quite distinct from all cases in that it is entirely dependant on a verb in order to form a noun phrase. The dative case marks indirect objects for which there are any directed prepositions and also marks the direction of motion. The genitive, in contrast to the dative case, marks motion in the exact opposite direction of the dative, aside from also marking possession and partialness (that which is usually used by a 'partitive case' in other languages). | |||
