it's pretty retarded. works like this, just using a standard polish name:

>igor smirnoffski (male)
>natalya smirnoffska (female)
>>
>>70865120
I think it's when you talk about something belonging to the person, or an event related to the person, you add an a to their first and last names

this way you economise on one preposition

Well that's the point of declension*
>>70865150
It happens in tonnes of languages.
Latin has it too.

An example from Croatian.

"Što je radio?"
"Udario je Ivana Babića"

"What did he do?"
"He beat up Ivan Babić"

An -a is added to the end of his name to show that he is the object of the action

don't correct me lest you want to get heemed

Ne misli na to, nego na dodavanje slova "a" prezimenu kod žena

Over here, some surnames start with the suffix Mc which is a shortned version of "mac" our word for son

for example the name McMahon would son of mahon, similar to Icelandic surnames

of course, you wouldn't call a woman Mc so women's names begin with the suffix Ní short for iníon uí (daughter of)

for example the famous news caster Sharon Ní Bheolain which I think in english would be "Boland"

>>70865501
Wait so if I'm a girl and my name is Judy McMahon that's actually saying I'm a dude?
>>
>>70865501
If Ní is daughter
Is Na monther?
EG. Tir na nÓg
