I’m new som apologies but is there an explanation of changing nouns like elefant with the akkusativ case? Like Ich kenne einen elefanten but not Ich kenne einen Hunden. ??
It’s a grammar thing called n-declension. I have not talked about it in an article yet, and if you’re a beginner to German, you do not need to worry about it.
