Datiivpluaali

Datiivpluaali, also known as the translative case, is a grammatical case found in some Uralic languages, including Finnish, Estonian, and Hungarian. It is used to indicate a change of state or condition, often involving movement or transformation. The datiivpluaali is formed by adding the suffix "-ksi" or "-kse" to the base form of the noun in Finnish and Estonian, and "-vá" or "-vé" in Hungarian.

In Finnish, for example, the datiivpluaali is used to express a change of state or condition. For instance, "olen tullut opiskelijaksi" translates to "I have become a student." Here, "opiskelijaksi" is the datiivpluaali form of "opiskelija" (student), indicating a change from one state to another.

The datiivpluaali is a unique feature of the Uralic language family and is not found in many other languages. Its use requires a good understanding of the context and the specific rules of the language in question. Despite its complexity, the datiivpluaali is an essential tool for expressing nuanced meanings in these languages.
