In Koiné Greek, the ``accusative`` case ending of a word indicates either the object of a verb (including participles) of the object of a preposition.
In Koiné Greek, the ``accusative`` case ending of a word indicates either the direct object of a verb (including participles) or the object of a preposition.
It can also be used to indicate the subject of an infinitive verb.

The accusative case is sometimes referred to as the case of “limitation.”
It limits the verb as to extent, direction, or end (the goal) of an action.
The primary uses of the accusative case are to:
#. Indicate the direct object of a verb (or participle) [see `Accusative_Direct_Object <https://ugg.readthedocs.io/en/latest/case_accusative.html#id2>`_ ]
#. Indicate the object of certain prepositions [See `Object_of_Prepositions <https://ugg.readthedocs.io/en/latest/case_accusative.html#object-of-certain-prepositions>`_ ]
#. Indicate the subject of an infinitive [See `Subject_of_Infinitive <https://ugg.readthedocs.io/en/latest/case_accusative.html#subject-of-infinitives>`_ ]
#. Express an adverbial accusative [See `Adverbial_Accusative <https://ugg.readthedocs.io/en/latest/case_accusative.html#id5>`_ ]
In Koiné Greek, the accusative case ending indicates the direct object of a verb.
This includes both infinitives and participles.
Thus, when a participle requires a direct object, that term takes the accusative case ending.
The accusative case ending can also indicate the object (or complement) of a preposition.
Some infinitives in Koiné Greek take a subject.
In these cases, the subject of an infinitive verb takes the accusative case ending.
The accusative case ending can also indicate that that word is functioning as an adverb describing the verb.

The accusative case is used to indicate the direct object of the transitive verb.
A direct object is the person(s) or thing(s) which receive the action of transitive verbs. Because most verbs are transitive almost every
sentence will have the object of the verb in the accusative case.
However, there are a few verbs that can take their object in the Genitive Case [see `Genitive Case <https://ugg.readthedocs.io/en/latest/case_genitive.html#id3>`_ ]
or `Dative_Direct_Object <https://ugg.readthedocs.io/en/latest/case_dative.html#id3>`_ .]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The accusative case most commonly indicates the direct object of a transitive verb.
The direct object refers to the person(s) or thing(s) upon which the verb is acting.

Case nominative
===============
Glossary
Summary
--------
In Koiné Greek, the ``nominative`` case ending usually indicates the subject of the sentence.
However, the nominative case ending can also indicate a predicate nominative or predicate adjective.
Nominative is the case used to identify the subject. Because verbs include the subject, the nominative case is used in apposition
(or placed next) to the subject of the verb to add further identification. The nominative case is also used as a predicate nominative to
**equate or describe** the subject when used with a linking verb. The **nominative** is normally the form listed as the
headword in a dictionary entry (as the lemma).

In Koiné Greek, the nominative case ending indicates the subject of a sentence.
Any adjectives or participles that describe the subject of the sentence also take the nominative case ending.
In a sentence with a linking verb, the nominative case ending can indicate the predicate nominative or predicate adjective.
The nominative case is the case of designation or identity. It is used to:
#. identify, designate or name the subject of the sentence,
#. used in apposition to the subject of the sentence or another noun,
#. used as a predicate nominative, or
#. may stand alone without a verb for emphasis.
The nominative case ending is the standard form used for dictionary entries in a Greek lexicon.

The nominative case is formed by adding the nominative case ending to the stem of a word (often with a connecting vowel).

The primary use of the nominative case ending is to identify the subject of the sentence.
When the subject is paired with the definite article, the definite article will also take the nominative case ending.
The primary use of the nominative case is to identify the subject of the sentence. The definite article will also be in the nominative

**ho**,**Patēr**,agapa,ton,huion

**The Father** *loves the Son.*
**The Father** *loves the Son.*
The reader will notice that the verb includes the subject of the sentence “he” as part of a third person singular verb. **ὁ Πατὴρ**
identifies the subject by pointing specifically to the Father. Therefore the nominative-subject also stands in *apposition* (or next to)
the subject that is included as a part of the verb, but helps to clarify the subject of the verb with the additional information.
The **nominative case** is also used for *adjectives* and *participles* modifying the subject. This is because adjectives and participles
use the same case of the noun they are modifying. (They also have the same :ref:`gender<gender>` and :ref:`number<number>` as the word
they are modifying) See :ref:`Adjectives<adjective>` .
Example The adjective (καλός) and the noun (ποιμὴν) are both in the nominative case.

Example The participle (βλέπων) and the noun (Πατήρ) being modified are both in the nominative case. (Like adjectives, participles agree with the noun they
modify in case, number, and gender). See :ref:`Participles<participle>`.

Sometimes a writer may not intend to form a complete sentence.
This may occur in titles, headings, the greeting of a letter, or when a writer wishes to express strong emotion.
In cases like these, there is often a subject to the sentence fragment but no predicate and no verb.
The subject of these kinds of sentence fragments will take the nominative case ending.

Nominative Apposition
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. csv-table::
Apposition means “*next to*” or “*beside*.” Sometimes a second noun is placed next to the subject of the sentence (or clause) to add
additional information (to further describe the subject of the sentence). This is the Nominative of Apposition. The **Nominative-Apposition** sometimes will modify the subject of the sentence,
or it may modify a noun that is not the subject and is not in the nominative case. However, the Nominative-Apposition will still be in
the nominative case because it is **identifying or designating the noun**. In the example below *ὁ μάρτυς* and *ὁ προτότοκος* are both in
the nominative case and are in apposition to Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ which is in the genitive case.
Romans 11:33

Example:
Indicates a predicate nominative or predicate adjective
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sentences with linking verbs (such as **εἰμί, γίνομαι, and ὑπάρχω**) do not take a typical predicate containing an active verb with a direct object, etc.
When a linking verb requires a predicate, that predicate will contain some kind of predicate nominative (either a noun or a participle functioning as a noun) or predicate adjective (either an adjective or a participle functioning as an adjective).
In these cases, the predicate nominative or predicate adjective will take the nominative case ending.
Unlike in English, a linking verb in Koiné Greek can be implied and not explicitly stated.
are completed with an object in nominative case.
The **Nominative-Predicate** (also referred to as Predicate Nominative) construction can take different forms but consists of a **subject + a linking verb +** **an object in the nominative case.**
[The linking verb may be implied and not actually present in the text.]
.. note:: Use caution when translating sentences with predicate nominatives. It is often difficult to tell which term is the subject and which term is the predicate nominative, but they are not the same thing. They must be distinguished from one another.Care must be used in the translation of a *Nominative-Predicate* because the object may not be in the last position and is often not an exact equivalent of the subject. Koiné Greek does not use position to distinguish between the subject and the predicate nominative. The predicate nominative may appear either before or after the subject. The predicate nNominative is generally the larger class of objects, while the subject is the smaller class.
Indicates apposition
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Koiné Greek, the nominative case ending can be used to indicate a term that is in apposition to another word (usually a noun).
It functions very much like an adjective, except it is usually not an adjective, but a noun instead.
"Apposition" is the term used when a noun describes (or gives more information about) another noun.
Appositions can be translated into English a variety of different ways, depending on the specific context.
Some common ways of translating an apposition into English include "who is," "which is," "namely," a simple comma, or sometimes not translated at all.
In the example below, the terms *ὁ μάρτυς* and *ὁ προτότοκος* both take the nominative case ending and are in apposition to Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ (even though Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ takes the genitive case ending).
The apposition indicates that Jesus Christ is the person whom the writer indicates is the faithful witness and the firstborn from the dead.

the subject. The Predicate Nominative is generally the larger class of objects, while the subject is the smaller class. Therefore, the
translator must clearly understand which word (or phrase) is the subject of the sentence and which word (or phrase) is the predicate
nominative. The translator must use equal care in the translation so that the reader will be able to distinguish between the subject
and the predicate nominative.

“Paul” is the subject and “man” is the Nominative-Predicate.
The translator must be careful

and man is the Nominative-Predicate. English uses word order to indicate which word is the subject and which word is the Predicate
Nominative. Therefore reversing the word order in English to say “a man is Paul” would lead the reader to think that all men are
“Paul” which is not true. The more definite of the two words (or clauses) in the nominative case will be the subject of the sentence.

A word or clause may appear in the nominative case without a verb or a direct object. This may occur in the greeting of a letter,
titles, headings, or to make something a heading by giving it special emphasis. A word or clause may also appear in the nominative case
to express the emotion of the writer. In these cases, there is no intent of the writer to form a complete sentence.
