Definition & Bedeutung von "terminative case"

What is the "terminative case"?

The terminative case is a grammatical case used to indicate the end point or final destination of an action or state. It often expresses the idea of "up to" or "until" in relation to time, space, or quantity. This case is found in languages such as Hungarian, where it modifies nouns to show where or when something concludes. For example, in Hungarian, the word for "house" is "ház," and in the terminative case, it becomes "házig," meaning "up to the house." The terminative case helps clarify the limit or boundary of an action in a sentence.
