Accusative Verbal Construction
Some verbs expressing feelings, emotions and attitudes have different word order and typical grammar rules do not apply to them.
Bolí mě hlava.
Zajímají tě auta?
Babičku nebaví angličtina.
Tomáše mrzí rozhodnutí.
Differently from usual rules, here, the person always becomes the object (in Accusative) of the respective feeling or emotion.
I have a headache.
My head hurts me.
Do cars interest you?
Pronouns in Accusative
The verb always stays in the third person (singular or plural). It is often the pronoun that can indicate who the sentence is about.
The accusative pronouns are:
já – mě
ty – tě
on – ho
ona – ji
to – ho
my – nás
vy – vás
oni – je
- These pronouns are always used in the Second Position in the sentence.
Other Languages
Other languages such as Spanish or German also have a similar grammar pattern:
Me duele la cabeza.
Mein Kopf tut mir weh.
