Hi! But what is your problem with it? Is it with the desinences, or the cases? Hm... desinences are a matter of taste, but for the cases, take Finnish and cut out the excess : ). I would be happier if Portuguese had at least accusative (everywhere), instrumental, dative and genitive. The first for freeing us from the chains of word order, the second for its common uses... instrument by which something is done, passive voice agent, and anything I dont remember right now. The last two is just because I like them ; ). Edgard.
