Delative case
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". In grammar, the delative case (abbreviated Template:Sc; from Template:Langx "to bear or bring away or down") is a grammatical case in the Hungarian language which originally expressed the movement from the surface of something (e.g. "off the table"), but has also taken on several other meanings (e.g. "about people"), some of which are related to the original (e.g. "from the post office").
In addition to obvious movement off a surface (such as a table), Hungarian uses the delative case to express the origin of movement from some cities and places; when one is expressing that something comes from (or is coming from) a place, the name of the place is put into the delative case. Generally, Hungary itself and most Hungarian cities are placed into the delative case (foreign cities and some Hungarian cities use the elative case in this context).
- I came from Budapest (Script error: No such module "Lang".).
- The train from Hungary (Template:Wikt-lang) is coming (Script error: No such module "Lang".).
With the same meaning as in Hungarian (where something comes from, origin of movement), the delative is also used for some words as an adverbial case in Finnish,[1] e.g.:
- Script error: No such module "Lang". - from here
- Script error: No such module "Lang". - from over there
- Script error: No such module "Lang". - from there
- Script error: No such module "Lang". - from elsewhere
- Script error: No such module "Lang". - from elsewhere, on the other hand
- Script error: No such module "Lang". - from one place
