Editing Vocative case (section)

====Venetian====
[[Venetian language|Venetian]] has lost all case endings, like most other Romance languages. However, with feminine proper names the role of the vocative is played by the absence of the determiner: the personal article {{lang|vec|ła / l'}} usually precedes feminine names in other situations, even in predicates. Masculine names and other nouns lack articles and so rely on [[Prosody (linguistics)|prosody]] to mark forms of address:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Case
! Fem. proper name
! Masc. proper name and other nouns
|-
! Nom./Acc.
| {{lang|vec|'''ła''' Marìa ła vien qua / varda '''ła''' Marìa!}}<br/>{{gloss|Mary comes here / look at Mary!}}
| {{lang|vec|Marco el vien qua / varda Marco!}}<br/>{{gloss|Mark comes here / look at Mark!}}
|-
! Vocative
| {{lang|vec|Marìa vien qua! / varda, Marìa!}}<br/>{{gloss|Mary, come here! / look, Mary!}}
| {{lang|vec|Marco vien qua! / varda, Marco!}}<br/>{{gloss|Mark, come here! / look, Mark!}}
|}

Predicative constructions:

{| class="wikitable"

! Case
! Fem. proper name
! Masc. proper name and other nouns
|-
! Pred.
| {{lang|vec|so' mi '''ła''' Marìa}}<br/>{{gloss|'''I''' am Mary.}}
| {{lang|vec|so' mi Marco / so' tornà maestra}}<br/>{{gloss|'''I''' am Mark. / I am a teacher again.}}
|-
! Vocative
| {{lang|vec|so' mi Marìa!}}<br/>{{gloss|It's me, Mary!}}
