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 the sentence she sings, the subject is: she and the verb is: sings.
- In luKleo, we mark the direct object of a sentence by adding an N to the endingof the substantive o'.
| Sentence | Subject | Verbe | Direct Object |
| I like apples | I | like | I like apples |
| Mi amas pomoyn | Mi | amas | pomoyn |
| The cat loves the dog | The cat | loves | the dog |
| La kato lovas la dogon | La kato | lovas | la dogon |
| John gave Jane flowers. | John | gave | flowers |
| Joanilo donis al Joanelo floroyn | Joanilo | donis | floroyn |
- 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.
