What is Grammatical case?

[@Catburger147]

My family moved from Ukraine after WW1, during the red scare our family lost the Ukrainian language. Recently, I have decided to revive my family’s language. You are helping me reconnect with my lost mother tongue. Thank you so much for the amazing tutorial!

[@siyacer]

interesting

[@simbadooo9055]

Why don't you have more subscribers? Genuinely this was entertaining, useful and presented in a great fashion. I will be sharing this with all my language learning friends!

[@zacharyhayward1262]

That was really useful! Thank you, I have just started learning German and that assisted in clearing up what cases are!

[@lyiusapangolin]

This help clear up some of the edge-cases of Grammatical Cases I didn't quite grasp, especially Instrumental which was a case I was interested in. Glad you like the fan-art as well. It was a good test of learning how to use restricted palettes to me.

[@Dracheneks]

I'm glad I was able to help as I know cases are one of those things that are a pain to get the hang of. If you need any more help, you know where to get it! And thank you kindly for the fanart, as I've said before, it's absolutely fantastic and I appreciate it hugely!

[@BakhitMohamed-mq3vy]

the best explanation out there congrats

[@Annathroy]

Croatian has 7 cases which is just natural to us but I can't imagine how complicated it would be for native English speakers

[@MrMikeIppo]

I came to this video because I am learning Czech and my mother tongue is Spanish. I am so lost with cases

[@artifexdei3094]

I love how you jumbled stuff up to help people realize how to better identify the parts of the sentence, using this to help my students understand german cases.

[@Dracheneks]

Wonderful to hear that tactic has helped! I did it myself to learn how cases worked in German too, it's a very helpful technique!

[@artifexdei3094]

@@Dracheneks i teach german its always the hardest to explain word order cases and inflections especially if the student isnt that informed about english grammar. I was pretty confused at first w how jumbled up the sentences were but realized how in filipino we say it as “see he me” ahahaha, german is SVO, filipino is VSO. The hardest for some is dative case in german and when adjectives come in.

[@Julia-nl3gq]

Thank you! I've only ever learned languages that do not use cases, in the past, such as French and Spanish. Now I am struggling to understand them, as I am learning Ukrainian. The alphabet was not nearly as hard to learn as I thought, and the pronounciation was generally wonderfully straight-foward, and I was doing okay, until I ran into cases. I knew about their existance, but had never tried to grasp exactly what they were, as I never really had a need. Now I'm like...well, fascianted, but frustrated. I hope to learn Hungarian next, I know they have cases, I hope that understanding them now will help me out later.

[@Dracheneks]

I'm glad I could help! It's great that you're learning so many languages, that's impressive! Good luck!

[@DimitrijDimitrij]

Romanian has five cases, it’d be easier, you know some Latin, right?

[@vrcjp-enlanguageexchange3150]

You had me at the second time you flashed 'or "Particles"' on the screen. Haha. You explained it well, so have some particles on the house. で、を、に、は、が

[@naltlan7651]

Amazing content, gonna finally get into cases in my conlang, i thank you for this content.

[@Dracheneks]

Thank you very much! And you're welcome, I'm glad it helped!

[@talkingweevil3172]

I subscribed a few days ago on the very first video I saw KZbin that day! You are the BEST!

[@creamCarnivalJones1234]

great video, my only complaint is I would replace "do-er" and "reciever" as the Agent and Patient. Complicated? Yeah but once you get used to it, its so useful for expanding upon more linguistic stuff.

[@sany9867]

I loved this video! You are the few people I actually understand

[@Dracheneks]

I'm so glad I could help, I try to make things as simple as possible to help anyone!

[@waluigihentailover6926]

An excellent video! The dative example really set it in my mind. I hole you’re still alive!

[@Dracheneks]

Raahhh I am in fact alive! Sadly life gets in the way.. I'm glad the example helped, cases are pretty tough to get the hang of!

[@waluigihentailover6926]

@@Dracheneks Yay!

[@ambience6769]

I'd be nice and helpful perhaps if you could possible make a video or a course, maybe, explaining the Latin and English grammatical structures, morphological and lexical changes from old to modern day English. I especially interested on the relation between Latin and English.

[@Dracheneks]

I'll certainly look into that, the evolution and history of natural languages is something I find rather fascinating. I'll add it to my ideas, thank you!

[@mezo5951]

Thank you! love from Cairo

[@ucfcgang3226]

I finally understand what a case is

[@Dracheneks]

Wonderful to hear!

[@shinydewott]

A semi related question: can a postpositional language that has a Verb first word order (V??) turn verbs into adpositions? If so, would the verbs realistically be postpositions or prepositions?

[@mb2908]

Thank you for your effort. This was very helpful. Best regards.

[@skeptic781]

[@abhishekdixit638]

I didnt love the video, but i liked it... i used to think that nominative, accusative, etc cases classify sentences so it was really annoying to me when the internet told me that a sentence has both nominative case and accusative case which is impossible coz the sentence can only be in one case!!! 😾But now i understood that the sentences arent classified...the nouns are!!! 😬😒

[@Dracheneks]

I'm glad I was able to help you with cases! They're not super easy to understand, in fairness. They're quite a funny thing to learn, as normally you'd just use them automatically and not have to worry about it. I'm sorry the video wasn't great though! What did you dislike about it?

[@caspiandahlstrom2011]

Yoo, this is great! Thanks :)

[@Dracheneks]

I'm glad I've been able to help!

[@pancake-de5iv]

yup i suck at english, i have no idea on what the cases are

[@salumtheconlang2953]

[@kanaria449]

you ever read/listen to someone explain something and completely not understand it? i've watched this video 2 times and i still *do not* get it.

[@Dracheneks]

Don't worry, grammatical case is quite difficult to pick up! Anything I can explain better?

[@kanaria449]

@@Dracheneks i don't think so, you explained it very well! i just feel a bit frustrated with trying to learn new things and wanted to ask if people feel the same way haha thanks for the awesome vid btw!

[@Dracheneks]

Aww I appreciate it, thank you! I'm glad it helped! But yeah, I feel the same way about things sometimes. It can get frustrating for sure.

[@lingopotato8541]

Þank you.

[@Dracheneks]

You're very welcome!

[@kennystimpson2775]

I enjoy learning languages, the case system is fascinating, im creating a language using the five vowel system and will be using five cases. Idk if this is a good idea but ill have one vowel match to each case. (Nominative, accusative, dative, gentitive, (german learner lol) and instrumental). wish me luck!

[@Dracheneks]

Sounds fantastic, best of luck!

[@kennystimpson2775]

@@Dracheneks Thank you so much!

[@skeptic781]

If a language has some cases but want to convey and action like going "to" a place, do they use adpositions instead or how does that work?

[@Dracheneks]

Good question! You can absolutely use adpositions, however you could also use a case like the Lative case, which marks the noun one is going towards, like a case. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lative_case

[@nirvanawayne9503]

I would recommend checking out Biblaridion's video on noun case (I think it's in the feature focus playlist). As an example he gave this: Shop-GEN stomach-DAT Where "stomach-DAT" became an adposition meaning "into". (Which later was added onto the "shop-GEN" to form a new, more specific locative meaning "into".)

[@Broockle]
