In this post, we learn how to case mark verbal sentences. The verbal sentence (\u0627\u0644\u062c\u0645\u0644\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0641\u0639\u0644\u064a\u0629) is a sentence that begins by a verb.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

The verbal sentence has two main components: the verb (\u0627\u0644\u0641\u0639\u0644), the subject (\u0627\u0644\u0641\u0627\u0639\u0644), especially if the verb is non-transitive. If the verb is transitive, there is also a third element, i.e.\u00a0 the object (\u0627\u0644\u0645\u0641\u0639\u0648\u0644 \u0628\u0647). The subject of the verbal sentence is always nominative (\u0645\u0631\u0641\u0648\u0639), while the object is always accusative (\u0645\u0646\u0635\u0648\u0628). Consider the following examples:<\/h3>\n

\u064a\u062f\u0631\u0633\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0637\u0627\u0644\u0628\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0644\u063a\u0629\u064e.<\/h3>\n

In this example, the sentence begins with a present tense verb, which takes final Dhamma (\u0640\u064f). The subject of the sentence (\u0627\u0644\u0637\u0627\u0644\u0628\u064f) is nominative (\u0645\u0631\u0641\u0648\u0639). The object \u00a0of the sentence (\u0627\u0644\u0644\u063a\u0629\u064e) is accusative (\u0645\u0646\u0635\u0648\u0628).<\/h3>\n

\u062f\u0631\u0633\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0637\u0627\u0644\u0628\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0644\u063a\u0629\u064e.<\/h3>\n

In this example, the sentence begins with a past tense verb, which takes final fatha \u0640\u064e)). The subject of the sentence (\u0627\u0644\u0637\u0627\u0644\u0628\u064f) is nominative (\u0645\u0631\u0641\u0648\u0639). The object of the sentence (\u0627\u0644\u0644\u063a\u0629\u064e) is accusative (\u0645\u0646\u0635\u0648\u0628).<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

If the subject of the verbal sentence is a pronoun, it often does not appear as a separate word, but instead, it becomes part of the verb conjugation, e.g.<\/h3>\n

\u0646\u062f\u0631\u0633\u064f.<\/h3>\n

We study.<\/h3>\n

\u064a\u062f\u0631\u0633\u0648\u0646.<\/h3>\n

They study.<\/h3>\n

\u062f\u0631\u0633\u062a\u0645.<\/h3>\n

You (pl.) studied.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

If the verb comes before the subject, it agrees with it in gender only, but remains singular all the time, e.g.<\/h3>\n

\u0633\u0627\u0641\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u062c\u0644\u064f.<\/h3>\n

The man travelled.<\/h3>\n

\u0633\u0627\u0641\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u062c\u0627\u0644\u064f.<\/h3>\n

The men travelled.<\/h3>\n

\u0633\u0627\u0641\u0631\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0633\u0627\u0621\u064f.<\/h3>\n

The women travelled.<\/h3>\n

\u064a\u0644\u0639\u0628\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0648\u0644\u0627\u062f\u064f.<\/h3>\n

The children play.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

If the verb comes after the subject, it agrees with it in gender and in number, e.g.<\/h3>\n

\u0627\u0644\u0631\u062c\u0644\u064f \u0633\u0627\u0641\u0631.<\/h3>\n

The man travelled.<\/h3>\n

\u0627\u0644\u0631\u062c\u0627\u0644\u064f \u0633\u0627\u0641\u0631\u0648\u0627.<\/h3>\n

The men travelled.<\/h3>\n

\u0627\u0644\u0646\u0633\u0627\u0621\u064f \u0633\u0627\u0641\u0631\u0646\u064e.<\/h3>\n

The women travelled.<\/h3>\n

\u0627\u0644\u0623\u0648\u0644\u0627\u062f\u064f \u064a\u0644\u0639\u0628\u0648\u0646.<\/h3>\n
