elatiivkäänest

Elatiivkäänne, also known as the elative case, is a grammatical case found in the Finnish language. It is used to indicate movement away from a place or location. The elative case is formed by adding the suffix "-sta" or "-stä" to the genitive case form of a noun. For example, the genitive form of "koti" (home) is "kodin," and the elative form is "kodista."

The elative case is used in various contexts, such as expressing departure from a place, separation from something, or the removal of an object from a container. It is also used to indicate the source of movement or the origin of something. For instance, "kodista" can mean "from home" or "away from home."

In addition to nouns, the elative case can also be applied to pronouns and adjectives. For example, the elative form of the pronoun "minä" (I) is "minusta," which means "from me." The elative case is an essential aspect of Finnish grammar, providing a way to convey movement and location in a clear and concise manner.
