wow, examples from latin and german

pretty impressive pangler.

traditionally the copulative form requires that both subject and object use the same case (they are the same thing, after all). This could on occasion be the accusative case ('The person you talked to was me'), but normally it's the nominative case. In modern English we just use who all the time, it's a lot easier.
