Elative case
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Distinguish".
In grammar, the elative case (abbreviated Page Template:Smallcaps/styles.css has no content.ela; from Template:Langx "to bring or carry out") is a locative grammatical case signifying that something comes from something, somewhere or someone.[1]
Usage
Uralic languages
In Finnish, the elative is typically formed by adding Template:Wikt-lang, in Estonian by adding Template:Wikt-lang to the genitive stem, Script error: No such module "Lang". in Livonian and Script error: No such module "Lang". in Erzya. In Hungarian, the suffix Template:Wikt-lang expresses the elative:[1]
- Template:Langx - "out of the house, from the house" (Finnish Script error: No such module "Lang". = "house") Script error: No such module "Lang". - "out of the houses, from the houses" (Finnish Script error: No such module "Lang". = "houses")
- Template:Langx - "out of the house, from the house" (Estonian Script error: No such module "Lang". = "house")
- Erzya: Script error: No such module "Lang". - "out of the house, from the house" (Erzya Script error: No such module "Lang". = "house")
- Template:Langx - "out of the house" (Hungarian Script error: No such module "Lang". = "house")
In some dialects of Finnish it is common to drop the final vowel of the elative ending, which then becomes identical to the elative morpheme of Estonian; for example: Script error: No such module "Lang".. This pronunciation is common in southern Finland, appearing in the southwestern dialects and in some Tavastian dialects. Most other dialects use the standard form -sta.
Russian
In some rare cases the elative still exists in contemporary Russian, though it was used more widely in 17-18th cc. texts: Script error: No such module "Lang". (out of the forest), Script error: No such module "Lang". (blood from the nose), Script error: No such module "Lang". (from Yaroslavl).[2]
