Kaj je narobe?

A bit of accusative (pronouns in singular: me, te, ga, jo, ga) and anatomy on the menu today.

kaj je narobe?            --->        What's wrong?
Slabo mi je                --->         I feel sick    (schlecht mir ist)     Dative


Boli me uho             --->     my ear aches  Accusative
or: Uho me boli

Zelo me boli X         --->     my X hurts(aches) much
Glava me boli          --->      my head aches ( vergleiche deutscher Akkusativ: der Kopf plagt  mich)
Zob te boli             --->       your tooth aches
Želodec me boli       --->     my stomach aches
Grlo ga boli            --->      his throat aches
srce jo boli             --->      her heart aches


Kje te boli?             --->      where is it hurting?
Tukaj me boli         --->      it hurts here

Imam vročino         --->      I have a fever
Imam gripo             --->      I have the flu

Imam poškodovano roko      --->       I have injured my leg
imam poškodavano nogo      --->       I have injured my arm


Certain impersonal expressions denoting states mark the experiencer with the accusative case:

  • Zebe me    --->    I am cold  (es fröstelt mich)
  • Strah me je  --->   I am afraid
  • Boli me    --->   I hurt

Am Dam Des

Just had a little  "Aha" moment. Back  in the 70ies, when I was a little nipper, I used to go and watch telly with my gran who had Cable and received Austrian Television. There was a Children's program called Am Dam Des which was quite entertaining despite the annoying clown. We used to sing along to the theme tune: Am dam des, disse malle pess, disse malle pumperness, am dam des.... not understanding what this was all about.
