Don’t you dare dig for that “cool” or “intellectual” book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.
So ok, here it is:
Sentence 1: The accusative case (same as the genitive) with the ending -n is also used as an object case when a) the object is defined or limited in number: Juon oluen - I drink one beer; or b) the action is in the future with an intention to complete it: Luen kirjat - I'll read the book; Ostan kartan - I'll buy a map.
Sentence 2: There is more about the object in Unit 8.
Sentence 3: Other accusative forms are the singular nominative and the plural nominative with the ending -t: Luen kirjat - I read the books; Lue kirja - Read the book.
That should have been about 10 sentences, but I used "creative grammar" to be able to complete the section...
