Why is vocative case used and how do you apply it?
You use vocative case when you are refering to a person directly. This changes their name.
Female names end with an “a” and are changed to an “o”. for example: Jana becomes Jano.
Male names usually end with a constonant and have different endings depending on the letter. For example: Jan becomes Jane, Tomaš becomes Tomaší, Lendrik becomes Lendrikou
Pan changes to Pane
Paní stays Paní
(Female) Foreighn names that do not follow these rules don’t change at all.
Why is genetive case used and how do you apply it?
Genetive case is used to:
- approximate location (I am in the middle of a park)
- direction (from where, or where we are going)
- refering to objects that are more than 5
(there are many more, but I think these are the ones we discussed in class)
words that end with an “a” change to “y”. for example: Praha > Prahy. Banka > banky.
words that end with “e/ě” don’t change at all
NEUTRAL words with í don’t change at all
neutral words with “o” change to “a”. For example: Kino > Kina, Brno > Brna
male words with a constonant, you add “u”. for example Obchod > onchodu
there are more rules, but the teacher simplified it like this. for more information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDtBVCbU5cY
