Use Accusative to express how long a time.
|
|
|
The duration of an on-going activity, expressed by an Imperfective verb, is rendered by the Accusative of the noun for the time period.
|
|
If the noun is in construction with a quantity word, then it is the quantity word that is Accusative, and the Genitive rules apply (Genitive Singular with двђ, двљ, трќ, четІре and Genitive Plural with the higher numerals and quantity words like мнћго, мђло, скћлько, etc.).
