Accusative case

The accusative case (abbreviated ACC) of a noun is the grammatical case used to receive the direct object of a transitive verb.

In the English language, the only words that occur in the accusative case are pronouns: "me", "him", "her", "us", "whom", and "them". For example, the pronoun they, as the subject of a clause, is in the nominative case ("They wrote a book"); but if the pronoun is instead the object of the verb, it is in the accusative case and they becomes them ("Fred greeted them"). For compound direct objects, it would be, e.g., "Fred invited her and me to the party".

The accusative case is used in many languages for the objects of (some or all) prepositions. It is usually combined with the nominative case (for example in Latin).

The English term, "accusative", derives from the Latin accusativus, which, in turn, is a translation of the Greek αἰτιατική. The word can also mean "causative", and that might have derived from the Greeks, but the sense of the Roman translation has endured and is used in some other modern languages as the grammatical term for this case, for example in Russian (винительный).

The accusative case is typical of early Indo-European languages and still exists in some of them (including Albanian, Armenian, Latin, Sanskrit, Greek, German, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, and Ukrainian), in the Finno-Ugric languages (such as Finnish and Hungarian), in all Turkic languages, in Dravidian languages like Malayalam, and in Semitic languages (such as Arabic). Some Balto-Finnic languages, such as Finnish, have two cases for objects, the accusative and the partitive case. In morphosyntactic alignment terms, both do the accusative function, but the accusative object is telic, while the partitive is not.

Modern English almost entirely lacks declension in its nouns; pronouns, however, have an understood case usage, as in them, her, him and whom, which merges the accusative and dative functions, and originates in old Germanic dative forms (see Declension in English).

1. With the dative case, ďî indicates the distribution of things by ones: '6;ŕéňĺ íŕě ďî H';áëîęó. (Give us each one apple.) In everyday speech, if you want to distribute people or things by twos or more, you have to switch to the accusative case: '6;ŕéňĺ íŕě ďî äâŕ H';áëîęŕ. (Give us each two apples.) Ňóđ';ńň$'; őîä';ë'; ';đóďďŕě'; ďî äĺńH';ňü ÷ĺëîâĺę. (The tourists were traveling in groups of 10 people.) Ďî and the accusative case also express "up to," in both space and time. '4;îäŕ á$';ëŕ ďî ďîH';ń. (The water was up to my waist.) In time expressions, it means "up to and including." So when your friend says, ß ć';âó íŕ äŕ÷ĺ ń ';ţíH'; ďî ńĺíňH';áđü it means he‘s out at the dacha from June through the end of September.

2. In fact, even the great lexicographer Vladimir Dal threw up his hands over this little word: Číî';äŕ ňđóäíî ';đŕěěŕň';÷ĺńę'; îďđŕâäŕňü ďđĺäëî'; "ďî" (Sometimes it‘s hard to justify the preposition "po" grammatically.) The use of őîä';ňü ďî and the accusative case is rather uncommon and means "to walk to get something." So you might say: '4;÷ĺđŕ H'; őîä';ëŕ ďî ';đ';á$'; '; H';';îä$';. (Yesterday I gathered mushrooms and berries.) Out in the country you might hear someone say, ß őîä';ë ďî âîäó. (I went for water.) Most commonly, őîä';ňü ďî takes the dative case and means to walk along or about: ß ř¸ë ďî äîđî';ĺ (I walked along the road); ß őîä';ë ďî ëĺńó (I took a walk in the forest). You would never, ever have cause to use the nouns âîäŕ, H';';îä$';, ';đ';á$'; (water, berries, mushrooms) with őîä';ňü and the dative case.
