[immerweiter]

and what about my, wy, one/ oni?

[immerweiter]

warum kommt nach kocham nicht der genitiv

[immery]

Because it is accusative after kochać, lubić.

[immerweiter]

danke sehr!

Why doesn't 'mój pokój' change to an accusative case ?

[Jellei]

It does. But for masculine inanimate nouns, Accusative is identical to Nominative.

Would "nie kocham mójego pokója" be correct or does genitive not require the 'mój' pronoun to change?

[Emwue]

„Mój” does decline to agree with thing owned so it would indeed be „mojego” but „pokój” has genitive „pokoju”, so it would be:

• „Nie kocham mojego pokoju”

Side note: This sentence is not the best – „kocham mój pokój” alone is awkward(to me, at least), I would not use „kochać” with inanimate thing and would use „uwielbiać” instead, but negation makes it even worse, it really hints at 'I'm not in romantic relationship with my room' – it would be much better to use the antonym here instead („Nienawidzę mojego pokoju”).
