Template:Short description Template:Refimprove The distributive case (abbreviated Template:Sc) is used on nouns for the meanings of 'per' or 'each.'

In Hungarian it is Script error: No such module "Lang". and expresses the manner when something happens to each member of a set one by one (e.g., Script error: No such module "Lang". "per head", Script error: No such module "Lang". "in some case"), or the frequency in time (Script error: No such module "Lang". "once a week", Script error: No such module "Lang". "every ten minutes").

In the Finnish language, this adverb type is rare, even rarer in the singular. Its ending is Script error: No such module "Lang"..[1] The basic meaning is "separately for each". For example, Script error: No such module "Lang". ("country") becomes Script error: No such module "Lang". for an expression like Script error: No such module "Lang". ("The law is ratified separately in each country"). It can be used to distribute the action to frequent points in time, e.g., Script error: No such module "Lang". (day) has the plural distributive Script error: No such module "Lang". (each day).

It can mean also "in (or with) regard to the (cultural) perspective" when combined with a word referring to an inhabitant (Script error: No such module "Lang".). Frequently Finns (Script error: No such module "Lang".) say that Script error: No such module "Lang"., or "in the Finnish perspective, it feels strange that ...".
