===A note about accusative=== |
|||
The next kind of thing we should think about is the type of sentence |
|||
part that goes like this: |
|||
'the man you saw' |
|||
'the man the girl saw' |
|||
I don't know if we have to change word order here - probably not - but |
|||
the nominative and accusative are SNs 2 and 1 respectively. |
|||
But think about this: |
|||
'the man my brother became' |
|||
Adding accusative here is wrong, so what can we do about it? Not much. |
|||
Maybe in this specific instance, sure, but generally, we can only take |
|||
the common cases and hope for the best. There's been plenty of work |
|||
into statistical parsing, subject identification, etc., but it's still |
|||
not much better than picking the common cases, and hoping for the |
|||
best. |
|||
This is why we always tell people to have their translations checked |
|||
by a native speaker :) |

And the affixes: http://esperanto.davidgsimpson.com/eo-affixes.html (short) http://steve-and-pattie.com/esperantujo/grparafx.html (longer)
Tenses are exlained in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto_grammar#Verbs
