Elative case
Template:Short description Template:Distinguish
In grammar, the elative case (abbreviated Template:Sc; from Template:Langx "to bring or carry out") is a locative grammatical case signifying that something comes from something, somewhere or someone.<ref name=":0">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
UsageEdit
Uralic languagesEdit
In Finnish, the elative is typically formed by adding Template:Wikt-lang, in Estonian by adding Template:Wikt-lang to the genitive stem, {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} in Livonian and {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} in Erzya. In Hungarian, the suffix Template:Wikt-lang expresses the elative:<ref name=":0" />
- Template:Langx - "out of the house, from the house" (Finnish {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} = "house") {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} - "out of the houses, from the houses" (Finnish {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} = "houses")
- Template:Langx - "out of the house, from the house" (Estonian {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} = "house")
- Erzya: {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} - "out of the house, from the house" (Erzya {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} = "house")
- Template:Langx - "out of the house" (Hungarian {{#invoke:Lang|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: {{#invoke:Lang|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.
RussianEdit
In some rare cases the elative still exists in contemporary Russian, though it was used more widely in 17-18th cc. texts: {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} (out of the forest), {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} (blood from the nose), {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} (from Yaroslavl).<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>
