The Accusative


  1. We have seen that the syntax (investment of the words ones in relation to the others) is not not primordial in Fremdo because the endings of the words us guide on the quality of the word (name, verb, adjective or adverb).
  2. What to say of: Joanu salutas Klara
    1. We notice the verb salutas, but who is subject and who is the supplement (here the D.O)?
    2. In the classical syntax (subject + verb + supplement) Joanu is subject and Klara is DO = John greets Claire.
    3. If one manages without syntax that becomes more complicated! But we have a simple solution: the accusative.
  3. The accusative is a case expressing the direct object (O.D.), in other words the acting who undergoes the action exercised by the subject of an active direct transitive verb, it is marked by the ending -n. It is put after the ending -o, -a or -u of the noun or the ending -y of the plural.
    1. Joanun salutas Klara = Claire greets John
    2. Joanu salutas Klaran = John greets Claire
  4. You see that the accusative is not necessary when the sentence is simple, but it can be useful when the sentence is long. It acts the audible and visible role of mark. On the other hand it allows mixing the words without changing the sense from the sentence :
    1. Joanun vidis zi dogo. = the dog saw John.
    2. Vidis Joanun zi dogo. = the dog saw John.
    3. Zi dogo Joanun vidis . = the dog saw John.
  5. The accusative is a friend because it simplifies the sense of the sentences, notably:
    1. To indicate a movement :
      • Zi kato saltas sur zi tawlo. The cat jumps on the table. (The cat is already on the table and he jumps).
      • Zi kato saltas sur zi tawlon. The cat jumps on the table. (The cat is on the chair and jumps to and on the table).
    • To indicate a direction :
      • Wer ? Where ?
      • Wern ? To where ?
    • To replace a preposition :
      • Joanu andas al Londonio = Joano andas Londonion. John goes to London.


The Questions


  1. In fremdo, there are 10 words to question : txu, wu, wuz, way, wer, wan, wo, wom, we and wi.
  2. There is not need of inverting some words (verb-subject) in a sentence.
    • TXU? = is that? the reply is YES = yes or NE = no.
  3. Afterwards come the 9 correlative (board to the next lesson).
    • To remember them 2 groups:
    • WU? = who? WUZ? = whose, of which? WAY? = why? WER? = where? WAN? = when?
      • very easy, not?
    • WAN? = when? WO? = what? WOM? = how many? WE? = what sort of? WI? = how?
      • The ending of the correlative ones will indicate to you what word it waits for:
      • Zi awto blue veikas spidi. The blue car runs in a fast way.
        1. Wo estas blue? Zi awto tio, wo veikas spidi. The car that runs in a fast way.
        2. We zi awto estas? Zi awto estas blue. The car is blue.
        3. Wi zi awto veikas? Zi awto veikas spidi. The car runs in a fast way.
  4. The ending in -y and -n apply also to these words.
    1. Joanu kun patray kisas Klaran kay zi kidoyn = John with mothers kiss Claire and the children
    2. - Wu? = who? - Joanu = John.
    3. - Wun? = who? - Klaran = Claire.
    4. - Wuy? = who? - patray = mothers.
    5. - Wuyn? = who? - Zi kidoyn = the children.
    6. Etc...
