I've briefly studied this difference before but I really get it now thanks to your explanation, thanks! I understand the 'oda ment pár napRA' form and meaning better because Czech also has a form like this. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Please could explain this form. Literally is it 'to us already we end' or 'to us already our end'? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Yes, "odament pár napra" and "odament pár napja" are completely different things. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Something like "it is finished for us" or "we are finished" or "this is our end". This is the same genetic structure that I have just explained to Kisfröccs. It can be translated literally as "we have end". Edited by maxval on 29 April 2011 at 12:46pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Thanks. I understood the genitive side of it, but 'végünk' confused me because I thought it was a verb form meaning 'we finish'. Right now I've just realised that the verb has a 'z' in it anyway, so I was being a bit slow, sorry! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

1)Nekünk ikreink vannak. 2)Feleségemnek nincsenek testvérei. 3)Szüleimnek nagy kertje van. 4)Amerikaiaknak sok pénzük van. 5)Nekem nincs autóm. 6)Kovácséknek nagy házuk van. 7)A lánynak szép ruhái vannak. 8)A gyerekeknek piros madaraik vannak. 9)A szobáknak nincs ablaka. / A szobáknak nincsenek ablakaik. 10)A hivatalnokoknak sok idejük van. Note that the verb is in singular or plural depending on the posession, not on the posessor! Examples: Nekem piros számítógépem van. Nekünk piros számítógépünk van. Nekem piros számítógépeim vannak. Nekünk piros számítógépeink vannak. The possesive ending of the posession depends on: - whether the posession is singular or plural, - and the number and person of the posessor. There are some exceptions, when singular is used for plural posession, and even when plural is used for singular. Now I have no time to explain. Will make a new posting tomorrow about these special cases. Edited by maxval on 29 April 2011 at 5:24pm 2 persons have voted this message useful |
