How to conflate verbs with verbal nouns and noun descriptors with sentence participents aka verb descriptors (genitive case with agentive and dative case with patientive)
For example "my action" sounds and is written the same (and is thought to have the same meaning) as "I do" and "the rain in Spain" similarly = "it rains in Spain"
Use Suffixaufnahme
(ESS is the default case)
1sg-GEN/AGT-ESS act/action/do-ESS = I do = my action (in the neutral case ESS)
3sg-AGT-NOM speak/speech-NOM grows/gets longer-ESS = that I speak gets longer = my speech gets longer
Or use syntax instead of cases
"I" sounds and is written the same (and is thought to have the same meaning) as "my", "action" similarly = "do"
"you spoke interested me" = "your speech interested me"
