-usage:
The most common function of nouns in accusative is that of the direct object. Some
of the verbs we have learned so far are transitive verbs. This means that they need an
object onto whom the action is being transferred (transition) in order to convey
meaning. Some examples are: voleti, želeti, videti, slušati, imati, jesti & piti.
