"We eat the cake."

Translation: Biz pastayı yeriz.

[F-Mounir]

What does mean the accusative case ?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

The Accusative case is for specific direct objects. It appears on many things that are the objects of verbs and have the word "the" in English. You can read more about how to form it here: https://www.duolingo.com/comment/9041808

[Avery.Gee]

I got prompted "We eat the cake" and the answer was "Biz pastayi yeriz"

[LuthandoMa]

Isn't cake pasta in turkish?

[MonaFerido]

i think its wrong . at turkish pasta is pasta .

[Devilishka]

Why is pasta not correct for cake? If the app teaches us pasta and keki for cake, both should be accepted, just like at the very start of the course I was confused with adam and erkek.

Neden pastayı ???

[AlexinNotTurkey]

"the cake" is a specific direct object. Specific direct objects take the accusative case :)

I noticed that non of the accusative case words are in my keyboard dictionary .... are they regularly used? Is it common or jus that my keyboard is not good

[AlexinNotTurkey]

They should definitely be in the keyboard dictionary (if you are talking about something like autocorrect). Otherwise, if it is a normal dictionary, you will only find words in the nominative case, which is true of most dictionaries for languages with cases.

The writing says 'pastayı' but the audio sounds like it's saying 'pastayu'?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

I admit, the audio here is a bit sloppy, but there isn't anything we can do about it :/

[salahfedda]

Why not yiyoruz? But yeriz

[MonaFerido]

yiyoruz= you are eating, yeriz= we are eating ,i think.
