Sublative case
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The sublative case, found for instance in Tsez or Hungarian can express different situations: In Hungarian, it expresses the destination of the movement, originally to the surface of something (e.g. sit down on the ground, climb the tree), but in other figurative meanings as well (e.g. to university, for two nights), while in Tsez and other Northeast Caucasian languages it denotes a movement towards the bottomsides or the area under an object.
