Was wondering when we'd get this!

Why for the Turkish example in the begining does it say Caesar- NOM?

I forgot to change the gloss when I copied the formatting from one of the Latin examples. The version uploaded tomorrow will have it fixed.

Marcus Khortain

also at 4:20 ish the Hungarian gloss should probably say house instead of fly

Ah, I see, I copied the textbox from the finnish example above it. Okay, that makes sense.

As a native speaker, I don't really like the Czech example (Jdu, Marie!). Even thought it's technically correct, there are two slight problems with it: 1) "Marie" doesn't change in the vocative (compared to the nominative), so it doesn't really illustrate anything. 2) Out of context, a better translation of "I'm going" would be "Už jdu!" (not just "Jdu!"). Personally, I would go with something different, maybe something like: "Ahoj, Pavle!" (Hi, Paul!) or if you don't want to change the name: "Ahoj, Maruško!" (Hi, Mary!) which uses a deminutive version of the name that actually sounds different in the vocative. (Sorry if I sound too nitpicky, I obviously really enjoyed the video.)

I wish I'd seen this before I posted the video, I would've fixed it. Thanks very much, though, I always appreciate people pointing out things that need correcting.

No problem! I didn't realize the video had already come out when I wrote this.
