Accusative in Hebrew Nominative: (an apple) (kh=ח/خ/כ/Voiceless uvular fricative) Accusative: (I ate the apple) In Hebrew, if the object of the sentence is a pronoun (eg I, you, s/he) and the transitive verb requires a direct object, the word ET is combined with the pronoun into an object pronoun. the combined words are: Me = oti/אותי you (singular) = otkha/אותך (M) or otakh/אותך (F) him = oto/אותו her = ota/אותה we = otanu/אותנו you (plural) = otkhem/אותכם (M) or otkhen/אותכן (F) them = otam/אותם (M) or otan/אותן (F) Japanese In Japanese, cases are marked by placing particles after nouns. The accusative case is marked with を (wo, pronounced ). Turkish In Turkish, cases are marked with suffixes. Accusative case is marked with suffixes -ı, -i, -u, -ü, depending on the vowel harmony. An example is Arabayı, the word araba is marked with the suffix with the buffer letter y added because in Turkish, two vowels next to each other is not allowed. (The exception is words loaned from other languages such as saat, şiir etc.) Malayalam In Malayalam, the accusative inflection is achieved using the suffix എ /-e/. Example: രാമൻ /raman/ → രാമനെ /ramane/. The sandhi also play a role here depending on the ending of the noun. Example: മരം /maram/ → മരത്തെ /maratte/ where /tt/ replaces /m/ when /e/ is suffixed.
