Superessive case
Template:Short description In grammar, the superessive case (abbreviated Page Template:Smallcaps/styles.css has no content.supe) is a grammatical case indicating location on top of, or on the surface of something.[1] Its name comes from Latin Script error: No such module "Lang".: to be over and above. While most languages communicate this concept through the use of adpositions, there are some, such as Hungarian, which make use of cases for this grammatical structure.
An example in Hungarian: Script error: No such module "Lang". means "on the books", literally "the books-on".
In Finnish, superessive is a case in the adverbial[1] cases category, that are productive only with a limited set of stems. The superessive is marked with the Script error: No such module "Lang". ending. For example:
- Script error: No such module "Lang". means "everywhere" (Template:Lit "everything-at")
- Script error: No such module "Lang". means "(at) here" (from Script error: No such module "Lang". - "this", Template:Lit "at this place")
- Script error: No such module "Lang". means "(at) somewhere else" (from Script error: No such module "Lang". - "other", Template:Lit "other-at")
In Lezgian, the superessive case is marked with suffixes: Script error: No such module "Lang". 'on the bear'.[2]
