Review Summary
- Noun (-a) -> -u
- Noun (consonant) -> -a
よくある間違い
You forgot to change the feminine ending to -u. The direct object must change.
Masculine animate nouns need the -a suffix when they are the object of the verb.
You only add -a for animate masculine nouns. Coffee is inanimate and stays the same in the accusative!
Next Steps
You are doing amazing work! Keep practicing these endings; they will become second nature before you know it.
Label items in your room and practice the accusative case with 'Mám...'
