Editing Instrumental case (section)

===Hungarian===
The instrumental case is present in the [[Hungarian language]], where it serves several purposes. The main purpose is the same as the above, i.e. the means with which an action occurs. It has a role in the ''-(t)at-'' [[causative]] form of verbs, that is, the form of a verb that shows the subject caused someone else to action the verb. In this sense, the instrumental case is used to mark the person that was caused to execute the action expressed by the verb. It is also used to quantify or qualify words such as 'better' or 'ago', such as ''sokkal jobban'' 'much better' (literally 'with-much better'); ''hét évvel ezelőtt'' 'seven years ago' (literally 'seven with-years before this').

In Hungarian the instrumental and [[comitative case]] look the same, see [[Instrumental-comitative case]].

===Finnish===
[[Finnish language|Finnish]] has a historic, marginal [[instructive case]] (''-n''), but in practice the [[adessive case]] (''-lla/-llä'') is used instead outside lexicalised fixed expressions, even though the adessive literally means 'on top', e.g. ''vasaralla'' 'using a hammer' (instrumental meaning) or 'on a hammer' (locative meaning). (''Vasaroin'' 'using hammers' is plausible and understandable, but not common in use.)
