WHAT DOES ESSIVE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Essive case

The essive or similaris case is one example of a grammatical case, an inflectional morphological process by which a form is altered or marked in order to indicate its grammatical function. Marking of the essive case on a noun can express it as a definite period of time during which something happens or during which a continuous action was completed. The essive case can also denote a form as a temporary location, state of being, or character in which the subject was at a given time. The latter of these meanings is often referred to as the equivalent of the English phrase “as a ___”. In the Finnish language, this case is marked by adding "-na/-nä" to the stem of the noun. Example: lapsi "child" -> lapsena "as a child", "when was a child". Example: Veljeni on säveltäjänä “My brother is a composer.” säveltäjä -> säveltäjänä “state of being a composer ” Example: Sain kirjeen viime maanantaina. “I received the letter last Monday.
