==== | ==== Accusative-dative ==== | ||
The [[w: | The [[w:Accusative case|accusative]]-[[w:Dative case|acc]] case ({{interlinear |ACC}}) is used to mark the patient (also called the object) of transitive verbs, and both the theme (direct object) and recipient (indirect object) of ditransitive verbs. While in theory the overlap of these two roles may lead to confusion, in practice confusion is rare, and usually resolved via context. In cases where resolution of ambiguity is necessary the preposition ''a'' may be used to mark the indirect object. | ||

Finally the | Finally the accusative-dative case can be used to mark location, as well as movement motion towards something. Whether or not these uses take verbal agreement depends on the valency of the verb. | ||
