Accusative nouns is one of my favorite things about Esperanto. My native language actually has accusative nouns (as well as dative and possessive; whereas English only has possessive). Accusative is somewhat redundant, because if you follow the subject-verb-object order which is the most common in esperanto, the noun following the verb is most likely accusative. However mandating the accusative n means that I can rearrange the sentence order and it is still understandable (which is really useful for e.g. poetry). I’ve often found my self really wishing english had accusative nouns.
