Definition & Bedeutung von "postessive case"

What is the "postessive case"?

The postessive case is a grammatical case used to indicate a location that is behind or at the back of something. It expresses the idea of "behind" in relation to a noun. This case is found in some languages, such as Hungarian, where it modifies nouns to show this position. For example, in Hungarian, the word for "tree" is "fa," and in the postessive case, it changes to "fán," meaning "behind the tree." The postessive case helps clarify the spatial relationships of objects or subjects in a sentence, particularly their position relative to one another.
