idätiivi

Idätiivi, also known as the translative case, is a grammatical case found in the Uralic languages, particularly in Finnish and Estonian. It is used to indicate movement or transition from one state to another. In Finnish, the idätiivi is formed by adding the suffix -ksi or -kse to the noun. For example, the word "koti" (home) becomes "kotiin" (to home) in the idätiivi. This case is often used with verbs of movement, such as "mennä" (to go) or "tulla" (to come), to indicate the destination or origin of the action. In Estonian, the idätiivi is formed by adding the suffix -sse or -se to the noun. For example, the word "kodu" (home) becomes "kodusse" (to home) in the idätiivi. This case is used in a similar way to Finnish, indicating movement or transition. The idätiivi is a useful case for expressing direction and change, and it is an important aspect of the grammar of Uralic languages.
