If there is a need to distinguish between subject and object, an object ends with -(u)f. In normal sentences object follows subject and in such cases it is not necessary to add the -(u)f ending. Plural nouns end with -(i)s, in the object form with -(i)fs Examples: Subject: Kto? Sxto? (Who? What?) Object: Ktof? Sxtof? (Whom? What?) 4.
