Umbrean/Lessons/04 Another object

Introduction
Now you should know how to do a sentence containing only the subject (Intransitive verb) and both subject and object (Transitive verbs) but that is still not enough to cover them all, dont sigh, this one isnt nearly as bad as the transition between the previous two.

As what could be seen in the second lesson there were two forms of objects, direct and indirect object. Here we go through the indirect object and how to add it to already existing sentences.

Indirect Object
The indirect object is an object that is indirectly affected by the verb, for example:
 * {|class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"

now why would "her" be the indirect object? how would one know when it is placed directly after the verb? Simple, the giving is done by johan and what is given? The flower is given hence it is directly affected by johans act of giving, "her" is indirectly affected by it as the flower is given to her. it can also be seen as it can take the form of
 * Johan gave her a flower
 * }
 * {|class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"

as its clearly seen the indirect object can be substituted by a prepositional phrase "to her". In many old languages (and others still do) it is done by a case called "dative case", it is a case that is meant to replace "to X" and in english it used to but is now long gone. In Umbrean they have the dative case but it doesn't only use for the "To X" case but every time an indirect object is used. While in english it is uncommon it is present in a verb naturally without prepositions it is quite common in Umbrean verbs.
 * Johan gave a flower to her
 * }

Let us start showing by using it in an intransitve verb

Intransitive Verb
We shall again use the "Lyom" verb.
 * {|class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"

! Umbrean Example Thats all nice and well, a tooth is falling. But what if one wants to say it fell onto something? the word for onto or on something is "az'", it may also be used to describe into something as into bunch of balls, into water etc. The placement of it in the comming example is rather odd for most and wont be explained here but in a later lesson.
 * Döndilu lyomavy kó
 * The tooth fell
 * }
 * The tooth fell
 * }
 * {|class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"

! Umbrean Example This could be said and be perfectly valid, but it is completely unneccisery. When one fall its always either into something or onto something. So the postposition is not used, one would simply say
 * Döndilu adwijo az' lyomavy kó
 * The tooth fell into the water
 * }
 * The tooth fell into the water
 * }
 * {|class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"

! Umbrean Example and leave the az' out as it is built into the verb that the indirect object is what you fall into/onto. What is falling is indirectly affecting the indirect object by falling onto/into it, many verbs have like this and what the indirect object is/do/contribute differ and is something to just remember.
 * Döndilu adwijo lyomavy kó
 * The tooth fell into the water
 * }
 * The tooth fell into the water
 * }

Transitive Verbs

 * {|class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"
