In grammar, the instructive case is a grammatical case used in Finnish, Estonian, and the Turkic languages.

Uralic languages

In Finnish, the instructive case is used to indicate means, manner, instrument, location, or time. It is almost exclusively used in fixed expressions, such as in Script error: No such module "Lang". (Template:Lit).Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. However, the instructive is productive for infinitive verbal constructions to indicate manner, as in Script error: No such module "Lang". (Template:Lit): Script error: No such module "Lang". (Template:Lit).Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

In modern Finnish, many of its instrumental uses are being superseded by the adessive case, as in Script error: No such module "Lang". (Template:Lit).[citation needed]

The instructive case is only marginally present in Estonian in lexicalized expressions. Language reformers of the 20th century did try to revive it, but with little success.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

Turkish

In Turkish, the suffix Script error: No such module "Lang". is used for this purpose; for example, Script error: No such module "Lang". (Template:Lit).[citation needed]
