This is a list of grammatical cases as they are used by various inflectional languages that have declension. This list will mark the case, when it is used, an example of it, and then finally what language(s) the case is used in.
The cases are individually named as the "first," "second," "third" and so on. [10] For example, the common "when-then" construction is called the सति सप्तमी (Sati Saptami) [21] or "The Good Seventh" as it uses the locative, which is the seventh case.
[15]: p.3 Examples from languages exhibiting morphologically overt case marking indicate that there are rules of case assignment present in the grammar of a language. To account for this, rules can be generated as support. For example, support accounting for accusative cases in Latin-type case-marked languages could be presented as: [15]
Czech declension is a complex system of grammatically determined modifications of nouns, adjectives, pronouns and numerals in Czech, one of the Slavic languages.Czech has seven cases: nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, vocative, locative and instrumental, partly inherited from Proto-Indo-European and Proto-Slavic.
Turkish uses the conjunction ile ("with"), and its suffixed form -(y)lA (realised as -(y)la or -(y)le, depending on the dominant vowel of the noun—see vowel harmony) to indicate the instrumental case. For example, in the sentence Arabayla geldi 'he came by (the use of a) car', araba means 'car' and arabayla means 'by (the use of a) car, with ...
These forms end in "-у́" or "-ю́": лежать в снегу́, ležať v snegú (to lie in the snow), but думать о сне́ге, dumať o snége (to think about snow). Other examples are рай, raj ; "в раю́", дым, dym (smoke); and в дыму́, v dymú. As indicated by the accent marks, the stress is always on the last ...
Nouns in Latin have a series of different forms, called cases of the noun, which have different functions or meanings. For example, the word for "king" is rēx when it is the subject of a verb, but rēgem when it is the object: rēx videt "the king sees" (nominative case) rēgem videt "(he) sees the king" (accusative case)
The first published English grammar was a Pamphlet for Grammar of 1586, written by William Bullokar with the stated goal of demonstrating that English was just as rule-based as Latin. Bullokar's grammar was faithfully modeled on William Lily's Latin grammar, Rudimenta Grammatices (1534), used in English schools at that time, having been ...
