okay
so...

i so far know three cases of the pronouns. nominative accusitive and genitive.

я, меня, меня
ты, тебя, тебя
он, его, него
она, её, неё
мы, нас, нас
вы, вас, вас
они, их, них

respectivly. so say for example i would want to say "I want you", 'you' would be in accusitive form?
Я хачу тебя.
could you even omit Я because of the conjugation of 'want'?

I realize this is kinda simple, but Im just curious because I heard a line in a song and Im just curious as to if I understand the right way.

it is хОчу
otherwise yes, you can drop "я" so the phrase fits into a poetic metre. However, in everyday life this omission may sound slightly unnatural, so it is better to say "Я тебя люблю/хочу/etc."

[oryx_and_crake]

P.S. accusAtive

[oryx_and_crake]

P.P.S. него, нее and них look out of place here

видел кого? ее, его, их (accusative)
нет кого? ее, его, их (genitive)

The "н"-forms are used with prepositions: нет её/его/их, but: без него/неё/них.

[oryx_and_crake]

oh, right (sleep deprivation is a terrible thing)
anyway, ee/eго/их can be used for both accusative and genitive
can него/нее/них be used in accusative? I cannot think of an example right now but maybe you can

[miram.livejournal.com]

Yes, it can: (они напали) на него/неё/них 'they attacked him/her/them'.

[oryx_and_crake]

Thanks. So, my point actually was: it is wrong to say that он, его, него are forms of nominative, accusative and genitive cases respectively. Он is nominative and его/него can be both accusative and genitive. The same goes for ее/нее and их/них.

Agreed.

[xswt-cherryx.livejournal.com]

one of the тату songs hehe

:) their songs are among the worst for learning Russian, since most of them have no "normal" text/lyrics, just a number of sentences or words linked together in some weird order ;)
