 What's up guys EvilD here and today I want to give you a little bit of a grammar lesson About the accusative case and movement because this is actually something I've had requested quite a bit from viewers of this channel And you know what I figured I'd get it done get you guys off my back so I can actually get on with the stuff I want to do no really I love you all I love you profunde Okay, so Basically when someone learns Esperano the first big hurdle they hit is the accusative case and when they hit it It's a good pounding if you don't understand grammar it pounded the hell out of me when I first Encounted it. I'm not making sexual references here at all. So just don't be dirty-minded Okay, so eventually they understand that the accusative applies to the object of the transitive verb Which meant nothing to me when I learned this language, but they get this in their head And they're like, okay, okay, I've got this I'm on a roll and then suddenly out of nowhere It's applied to people and locations which aren't direct objects of transitive verbs and they're like What's going on here What you need to understand is the accusative case doesn't just apply to the direct object of the transitive verb There's actually like three big areas of covers one is obviously the transitive The object of the transitive verb the second is the accusative case of movement the thing I'll cover in this lesson and the third one is like time quantities and stuff like that and I'll deal with that another day. So movement and the accusative case the best way to understand this is with a demo So let's look at your standard one that you'll probably see a lot So me eat us and la don't want it means I'm inside the house and I'm moving around now It literally translates as I go or I walk in the house notice It's in and not into so me eat us and la don't want means I'm in the house And I'm walking around but if you then say me eat us and la don't want notice how don't want goes to Domon you're now showing movement towards a location location being the house. So me eat us and la don't want Translate says I go into the house. Okay, so me eat us and la don't want means I'm in the house And I'm moving around me eat us and la don't want means I'm outside the house and I move into the house So let's say you're swimming in the ocean It's a lovely swim and you look down in the water and you notice there's a turtle below you Okay, and the word for turtle is test to the and you're looking at that turtle and God does it look juicy like just imagine No, okay, that's not what this is about. So you're looking at this turtle and it's swimming below you. Okay It's not swimming anywhere else. It's blow you and it's swimming around so you'd say la test to the Najas sub me so the turtles blow me and it's swimming around But if you wanted to say that the turtle swims say from in front or the sides or above Down under you you'd say la test to the Najas sub min I'm the destination of the movement. Okay, so la test to the Najas sub min means the turtle swims from above Under me and la La test to the Najas sub me means the turtles already below me and it's swimming around now Let's try one more example Let's say you've gotten out of the water You've eyed that turtle off enough and you're walking down the beach and you notice above you that there's I don't know a Vulture, I don't know why a vulture is following you maybe you're destined to die But there's a vulture above you and it's flying around you know how they do those all circles So the way to say the vulture flies above me. It's not from somewhere else It's just above me and flying around you'd say la vultura flugas super to me. Okay, but if you wanted to then say For instance, you're on the beach and you see that vulture and it's sitting on the sand in front of you And it's eyeballing you like you're my next meal mate And then it takes off and it flies above you from say on ground level then you would say la vultura Flugas super to min. Okay, because you again are the destination of the movement So that's basically it the accusative case when applied to something That's not for instance the transitive verb or time or quantity based is implying movement towards something Okay, now this seems probably a bit confusing at first But when you think about it English uses all these weird constructions like in and under or Into and then in and then it's kind of mixed up how we do it But with Esperanto it's actually quite clear cut once you've got it down Okay, so that's it if you've liked this video give it a like share it around with your friends subscribe to my channel If you haven't already and I'll see you in the next video and just to leave you hanging Try and translate this one for me Hi, so me name widows vinn and La Verronta film Me trovos vinn kai mi iras en vinn
