Post What Case Do You Use For The Word "About?"
on: June 10, 2017 05:29
"Be it that the women will write songs about their faithful and beloved husbands." I know how to translate every part of the sentence except for the word "about." I think that it is used for some case, but I don't know which! If it is not a case, I don't remember noticing a section on any of the lessons about this word. Please help me!

It is a genitive case.
When a verb is followed by a genitive case "about" is implied.
E.g. quetin eldaron = I speak about elves
