I just want to know the dative indefinite form of "vajzë", please.
Also, if you have time, how do you say "to/for some girls" and "to/for the girls" (i.e. the dative plural indefinite and definite). According to one book of mine, when you make the indefinite into the definite you add a T, but according to another both forms are the same!
Best wishes and thanks,
Simon

DATIVES many thanks, but what about the datives in each case (not the accusatives)?

Selected

Dative, indefinite, singular: (një) vajze

Dative, indefinite, singular: (një) vajze

Dative, indefinite, plural: (disa) vajzave
Dative, definite, plural: vajzave
In Dative, definite and indefinite forms are the same.

To/for some girls-për disa vajza (accusative, indefinite, plural)
To/for the girls-për vajzat (accusative, definite, plural)
In accusative, the definite form takes a “t” at the end.

Also, you would add a “t” in Nominative (i.e., disa vajza, vajzat) and Accusative (disa vajza, vajzat).
