Answer the question with ‘he’ Vs ‘him’ and match the 'm’s is an easy rule of thumb.
He went to the park: who went to the park?
You called him: Whom did you call?
I understand why it’s falling out of usage, as the strong SVO eliminates the need for accusatives, I wouldn’t be surprised if ‘him’ and ‘her’ go away next. Knowing and using ‘whom’ sure helped me with the ‘-n’ affix when learning Esperanto though, also fuck ‘-n’ signed: English speakers. Replace the word with whom, him or her and if it’s clumsy you don’t need the -n.
Now, if I could just wrap my head around ‘si’ Vs ‘li’, ‘ŝi’ and ‘ri’. Or, a solid rule of thumb, that would be so nice. I promise I’m not a toddler, I just talk like one.
‘Who’ Vs ‘whom’.

I’m sorry
I always wondered why it wasn’t “Dr. Whom.”
