Amharic to Slovak: the same name can identify different roles
An owner does not keep the dictionary form everywhere
Slovak case changes identify relationships that an Amharic message can distribute through different grammatical resources. The teaching example contrasts Peter with auto Petra, Peter's car. Petra in that construction is an inflected form identifying the owner; it need not introduce a different person with a similar-looking name.
For an Amharic collection message, identify who owns the car and who is being asked to collect it. These may be different people. A target name ending should be checked against its role in the entire phrase rather than replaced with the familiar dictionary form simply to preserve the source spelling visually.
A recipient can be expressed through the noun ending
The documented Daj bratovi knihu means give the book to your brother. The recipient relationship is expressed through the dative form bratovi. An Amharic reader who expects object and recipient information to remain attached to the verb may overlook where the Slovak construction has placed it.
Compare the giver, book, and brother separately during review. A correct book noun is not sufficient if the recipient is wrong, and the presence of a brother word does not establish whether he receives the book or performs the giving. This direction benefits from a role map before any attempt to make the target resemble the source order.
Slovak does not need an article for every identified object
Slovak has no article system equivalent to languages that consistently place a separate the or a before a noun. An Amharic reference to a particular item can therefore be preserved without a matching independent article. Context, demonstratives, and the rest of the construction help establish what item is meant.
When several objects occur in an Amharic message, make the reference explicit through a distinguishing description or name instead of expecting an article alone to solve ambiguity. Do not add a target demonstrative to every noun just to create a visible counterpart for source definiteness; that can introduce pointing or contrast the writer did not intend.
The listener choice belongs to the whole exchange
Amharic masculine and feminine singular address distinguishes listener gender. Slovak familiar and respectful address involves another set of choices, including plural-shaped respectful forms. A source gender distinction should not be mistaken for a ready-made decision about the target level of familiarity.
For a request to a stranger, establish the intended courtesy and keep the verb and pronoun pattern consistent. Then check the owner and recipient case forms independently. This preserves three different relationships: who is addressed, who possesses the object, and who receives it. They can coexist in one short Amharic instruction, but Slovak may reveal them through a combination of address conventions, noun endings, and context rather than the same visible source components.
