Prussian Language! Welcome back all those interested in learning Anglo-Prussian. In order to expand your understanding and ability to read and speak Anglo-Prussian it is important to build a background in the language namely: person, case, tense and conjugation. This update deals with the first two. Anglo-Prussian has four cases, three are commonly used in day-to-day speech, the fourth is more uncommon. They are: Nominative, Accusative, Dative and Genitive. Nominative deals with the subject of the sentence, Accusative deals with the direct object, and Dative with the indirect object. Genitive, though a case, is used almost entirely in archaic speech, it expresses ownership when specific ownership is directly important to the intended meaning of the statement. The difference, in English is "my book" vs "the book of mine". In the first case stressing the subject with an adjective removes it from genitive. The second stresses the ownership more than the book. "min grámátá" (my book) "se grámátá minus" (the book of mine) To better understand: "He borrowed my book." In the end, "He borrowed the book" means roughly the same thing. "He stole the book of mine." While "He stole the book" gets the idea across, the stress is on the fact that the book belongs to the speaker, and therefore the speaker was personally offended by or has invested interest in the subject. One could also suggest that it doesn't mater what he stole, stealing is stealing regardless. However, the only true reflection of case is in pronouns. Pronouns in Anglo-Prussian change based on their case, but regular nouns do not. Also, like England and unlike German, the word "the" (se) does not change. The four persons are based on where the speaker is relative to who he is talking to, and their relationship to the subject. All persons come in singular and plural forms. 1st Person: æs/we (I/we) Speaker is subject or part of the subject. 2nd Person: tu/ju (you/one) Listener is subject or part of the subject. 3rd Person (masculine/neuter): he/hie (he, it/them) Neither listener nor speaker is part of the subject. 3rd person (feminine): vin/viv (her/them) Neither listener nor speaker is part of the subject. 4th person: gæ/gæ (you/you) The speaker has respect for the listener/listeners.
