Grammatical cases are hell. Why do they have to exist. Not only am I struggling to learn tens of thousands of words, you're telling me each of them has 4+ forms??? Unacceptable.
Polish grammar has 7 cases. SEVEN! SIEDEM! Maybe this is why it’s such a basket case to learn? Eh? :P
Nominative (mianownik)- case of a noun which generally marks the subject of a verb or the predicate noun or predicate adjective, as opposed to its object or other verb argument.
Genitive (dopełniacz)- case that marks a noun as modifying another noun. It often marks a noun as being the possessor of another noun. It can indicate various relationships other than possession: certain verbs may take arguments in the genitive case and it may have adverbial uses.
Dative (celownik)- case used to indicate, among other uses, the noun to which something is given.
Accusative (biernik)- case used to mark the direct object of a transitive verb.
Instrumental (narzędnik)- case used to indicate that a noun is the instrument or means by or with which the subject achieves or accomplishes an action. The noun may be either a physical object or an abstract concept.
Locative (miejscownik)- case which indicates a location. Corresponds vaguely to the English prepositions “in”, “on”, “at”, and “by”. The locative case belongs to the general local cases together with the lative and separative cases.
Vocative (wołacz)- case used for a noun that identifies a person (animal, object, etc.) being addressed or occasionally the determiners of that noun.
Sanskrit has 3 genders (masculine, feminine and neuter), 3 numbers (singular, dual and plural) and 8 grammatical cases (nominative, vocative, accusative, instrumental, dative, ablative, genitive and vocative). The dictionary forms of Sanskrit nouns are uninflected, ‘raw’ forms of the word which define they way in which they are inflected depending on their gender. These are the main ways in which Sanskrit nouns are inflected-
* ः (ḥ) in the final position can be replaces with स् (s)
** sandhi rules mean in masculine and neuter nouns, the न (n) in instrumental, genitive and locative inflections becomes a retroflexive ण (ṇ) after a ृ (ṛ), ॄ (ṛṛ), र (r) or ष (ṣh)
So here is the gigantic post dedicated to the cases of Zehzhik. This took me FOREVER to make lol. Each case has a description of what it is, its singular, plural, and numbered forms, and many examples that show their interaction with nouns that may change their form, including words ending in ⟨w⟩ or ⟨q⟩, if they are consonant-final or vowel-final, if they contain the ghost e ⟨ę⟩ and what happens depending on its location, if they are applicable for consonant mutation, and other differences. I hope you enjoy this post.
Before jumping in, here’s some vital information:
Weak vs Strong cases: Some cases are weak, strong, weakening (strong singular, weak plural), and strengthening (weak singular, strong plural). In cases that are weak, consonant gradation occurs. Consonant gradation list can be found here.
Number types: Zehzhik employs a base 60 number system and a plurality system where numbered nouns are treated as separate pluralities; like a dual system but extending into infinity. The case of a word is modified to reflect the group the number applied to the noun falls into, in which there are 5 number groups; they are as follows:
Group A: 0 and multiples of 60
Group B: any multiple of 12 that isn’t also multiple of 60 (EXCEPT 12)
Group C: 1 and the number succeeding any multiple of 12 (EXCEPT for 13)
Group D: the 4 numbers succeeding the first number of any multiple of 12 (EXCEPT for 14-17)
Group E: any other number and 12-17
