WHAT DOES ADESSIVE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Adessive case

In Uralic languages, such as Finnish, Estonian and Hungarian, the adessive case is the fourth of the locative cases with the basic meaning of "on". For example, Estonian laud and laual, Hungarian asztal and asztalnál. It is also used as an instrumental case in Finnish. In Finnish, the suffix is -lla/-llä, e.g. pöytä and pöydällä. In addition, it can specify "being around the place", as in koululla, as contrasted with the inessive koulussa. In Estonian, the ending -l is added to the genitive case, e.g. laud - laual. Besides the meaning "on", this case is also used to indicate ownership. For example, "mehel on auto" means "the man owns a car". As the Uralic languages don't possess the verb "to have", it is the subject in the adessive case + on. The other locative cases in Finnish, Estonian and Hungarian are: ▪ Inessive case ▪ Elative case ▪ Illative case ▪ Allative case ▪ Ablative case...
