What really fucks with me is akkusativ suffixes

If dein grampa isn't the first and foremost noun in a sentence then it has to be deinen grampa but if it's a feminine word the the rule doesn't matter

Meine Oma Liebt deine Oma.

Mein Opa Liebt deine Oma.

Mein Opa Liebt deinen Opa.

Meine Oma Liebt deinen Opa.

I want to be good at this but that shit makes no sense, Hans. And why the fuck does a Library have a gender?!

EDIT: Liebt not Liebst in this context

Note that "liebt" should not be capitalized here because it's a verb.

Oh yeah I forgot German uses capitalization for uses other than emphasis or punctuation. In English, they don't change capitalization based on context of subject/verb.
