What is the "delative case"?
The delative case is a grammatical case used to indicate movement away from a person, place, or thing. It shows the direction of an action away from a location and often translates to "from" in English. The delative case is found in certain languages, such as Hungarian, where it alters the form of nouns to reflect this separation. For example, in Hungarian, the word for "house" changes from "ház" to "házról" when expressing movement away from the house. This case helps clarify the source or starting point of an action in a sentence.
