"I am going home."

Translation: Jdu domů.

[2200Lucia60]

Why do we have genitive ("domů") here?

[endless_sleeper]

It's not genitive, it's an adverb.

[2200Lucia60]

That's new! Let's remember that.. thank you Endless (helping user)!

Ok so I am confused here: when do we say 'domů' and when do we say 'doma' ?

[VladaFu]

direction vs. position. "at home" doma, "I am going home" jdu domů

[AaronJGS]

I so hope you won't mind I'm asking you again and again this kind of question Mr. Fu but is it strange to say domů jdu? Or is it very strange to a Czech person's ear?

[VladaFu]

It is usable only when annoyed and angry replying to someone annoying who asks "Where are you going?"

[AaronJGS]

interesting ... thanks!

Perphaps, nobody would say that in czech, except in certain circum i'm just curious, if "jdu na svém domě (domu)." Would be a valid sentence? Thx
