Literary Critique

Review Summary

  • Noun + [verb] + [instrumental case object]

Errores comunes

Over-explaining the metaphor ruins the poetic impact. Allow the instrumental case to act directly.

Wrong: Čas plynie ako rieka s vodou.
Correcto: Čas plynie riekou.

Passive voice often weakens metaphors. Use active verbs to make the metaphorical agent stronger.

Wrong: Obloha bola maľovaná farbami.
Correcto: Obloha horela farbami.

When using 'speak' in a metaphorical sense, the instrumental case carries the weight of the action better than the locative.

Wrong: On hovoril v metaforách.
Correcto: On hovoril metaforami.
