Visual guide
word + suffix sticker --------------------- dog + -s -> dogs walk + -ed -> walked house + 's -> house's ending = grammar signal
Same job, different coding no ending: dog (context) word: plural marker + dog suffix: dog + -s -> dogs many endings can encode: role, number, time, person
भाषेनुसार आढावा
तुमच्या मातृभाषेत
English has very little case marking, mainly in pronouns and possessive forms.
She saw him.
he/him = limited case marking in pronouns
तुम्ही शिकत असलेल्या भाषेत
Spanish does not have productive noun case suffixes, but pronouns show case-like forms and prepositions carry many relations.
yo / mí / me; tú / ti / te
I / me / me; you / you / you
Learners from case-rich languages may look for noun case endings that Spanish does not use.
