THE OBJECT AND THE ACCUSATIVE


  • As in French, in luKleo, a sentence demands at least two parties: a subject and a verb.
    • In the sentence she sings, the subject is: she and the verb is: sings.
      • A subject is a substantive that execute the action.
    • Nevertheless, in the sentence: I eat an apple, there is a third word: apple.
      • In this sentence, the word: apple is named: Direct Object.
    • A direct object is a substantive that undergoes the action of the verb.
  • In luKleo, we mark the direct object of a sentence by adding an N to the endingof the substantive o'.

  • In the last sentence, the word "Jane" directly follows the verb "gave".
  • So why isn't Jane the direct object of the sentence?
  • Because Jane is not having an action performed on her by the verb of the sentence, "give".
  • Frank is not giving Jane.
  • Frank is giving flowers.
  • Since the flowers are what is being given, the flowers are the direct object.
  • So what is Jane in this sentence, then?
  • Jane is what is known as an "indirect object".
  • An indirect object is a noun which is neither performing an action nor having an action performed directly upon it.
