Editing Accusative case (section)

==Example==
In the sentence ''The man sees '''the dog''''', ''the dog'' is the direct object of the verb "to see". In [[English language|English]], which has mostly lost grammatical cases, the definite article and noun&nbsp;– "the dog"&nbsp;– remain the same noun form without number agreement in the noun either as subject or object, though an artifact of it is in the verb and has number agreement, which changes to "sees". One can also correctly use "the dog" as the subject of a sentence: "The dog sees the cat."

In a declined language, the [[Morphology (linguistics)|morphology]] of the article or noun changes with gender agreement. For example, in [[German language|German]], "the dog" is {{lang|de|der Hund}}. This is the form in the [[nominative case]], used for the subject of a sentence. If this article/noun pair is used as the object of a verb, it (usually) changes to the accusative case, which entails an article shift in German&nbsp;– {{lang|de|Der Mann sieht '''den Hund'''}} (The man sees the dog). In German, masculine nouns change their definite article from {{lang|de|der}} to {{lang|de|den}} in the accusative case.
In [[Nepali language|Nepali]], "Rama sees Shyama" would be translated as {{lang|ne|रामले श्यामलाई देख्छ।}} {{Transliteration|ne|Rama-le Shyama-lai dekhchha.}} The same sentence in [[Sanskrit language|Sanskrit]] would be {{lang|sa|रामः पश्यति श्यामम्।}} {{Transliteration|sa|Rama: pashyati Shyamam}}.
