Okay, so I understand the accusative case is supposed to be used to denote the objects of verbs when possible (unless a verb requires a different case for whatever reason) however what are the exceptions to this?
Taking a sentence from one of my books "Vľavo stojí nášho syna Petra" My mum insists that it is incorrect and that it should be "Vľavo stojí náš syn Peter", thus making stať an exception to the rule. (Book is from Bratislava, We're from Prešov, dialect possibly?) So for anyone who knows Slovak, which is correct, and why? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

As far as I can tell, your mother is correct with the understanding that the translation of the sentence is "To the left stands our son Peter". "Our son Peter" acts as a subject in this sentence and is thus in the nominative case instead.

Ahh yeah right. I didn't even think of that (d'oh!), thanks Chung!
