The accusative case (for real this time)

As you already know, words that end in -a are changed to -u in the accusative (kafa - kafu, tata - tatu), however there are general nouns that end in -o or -e that NEVER change in the accusative: auto - car, meso - meat, mlijeko - milk, more - sea, voće - fruit

In the words that in their dictionary form end in -jeti (vidjeti like in the previous example) the -jeti always changes into -i; Vidjeti - vidi, voljeti - voli (to love)

Notice that film doesn't change in the accusative case. Every noun that ends in a consonant is masculine, therefore, like neuter nouns, they do not change in the accusative case, except when they refer to people or animals, some examples of male nouns: brod - ship, film - movie, kruh - bread, ručak - lunch/dinner, sok - juice, voz/vlak - train

Brat - brother, notice that in the accusative case, brat turns into brata; This is because if a noun refers to PEOPLE or ANIMALS, you attach -a to it in the accusative, examples: brat - brata (bro), čovjek - čovjeka (human), konj - konja (horse), sin - sina (son)

Previous rule also applies to masculine names. Melvin would be Melvina

It also applies to both the name and the last name

Čekam Ivana - I'm waiting for Ivan, Čekam Ivanu - I'm waiting for Ivana

In a male noun, if the 'a' is sandwitched between two consonants, it is moved to the end of the word while the consonants are left behind, depending on the context the a changes form (psa, psu, psi, pse) examples: magarac - magarc.., pas - ps.., vrabac - vrapc..

Male nouns that end in -e or -o are treated as if they end in a consonant, with 'j' placed before the ending; Dario - Darij.., Mario - Marij.., Silvio - Silvij..

The accusative is applied even when answering a question

koga - who (accusative)
