Lesson 7 - Accusative

Direct Object (DO), the person, animal, thing who recieve the action made for the noun:

I see a dog
I play football
I eat pizza
I watch tv
The doctor gave me a pill.... (me = Indirect Object-IO)

Now ..... ALWAYS IN ESPERANTO THE DIRECT OBJECTO ENDS IN -N.....ALWAYS!!!!!!!!

Nominative (or normal) = cat (kato)
Accusative (DO) = katon

That way esperanto is fllexible to ALL people.....some people talk: noun + verb + complement
other: complement + verb + noun .............etc

In Esperanto that doesn't matter, say it HOWEVER YOU WANT!
JUST REMEMBER THE DIRECT OBJECT (-N)

EX:
I watch TV ---------------> Mi spektas(vidas) Televidon ... the question is ¿what is watched? and the answer would be: DIRECT OBJECT (DO): TV

TV watch me -----------> Televido spektas(vidas) min ... now the direct object is "I" what is watched? = me (I)

So a simple sentence:

I see the girl  ....(DO)--> what is seen?=the girl= (DO)
Mi vidas knabinon
Knabinon vidas mi

See? No matter the word order.

IMPORTANT: Some verbs don't need accusative, as in all languages:

ex: sein- to be- ser/estar ............... verb to be DOESN'T NEED IT!
Mi estas gojan...........

Another thing........Adjectives also need accusative.

EX: I see a big girl, a small men and an ugly dog ..... what is seen? = a big girl, a small men and an ugly dog = (DO)

Mi vidas grandan knabinon, malgrandan viron kaj malbelan hundon.

It doesn't matter the order, because when you see the -n, you'll know that the thing, person, animal who recieve the action made fo the noun.
