Question about case and participles
Dec. 16th, 2009 11:21 amHello,
If I want to say something like "I see the man who is reading all by himself," what case would I put on один? Would it be something like
Я вижу человека, читающего одного
Or would the сам need to be dative, as it sometimes is in embedded clauses:
Я вижу человека, читающего одному
Or are both correct? Or is neither correct? I am particularly interested in the case relation between the participle and один, so if there are better examples to illustrate it with, please let me know what they are.
Thank you.
