What is the "comitative case"?

The comitative case is a grammatical case used to indicate companionship or association, often meaning "with" or "together with." It shows that someone or something is accompanying another in an action or state. This case is found in languages such as Estonian and Hungarian, where nouns change form to reflect this relationship. For example, in Estonian, the word for "friend" is "sõber," and in the comitative case, it becomes "sõbraga," meaning "with a friend." The comitative case helps clarify the involvement of another person or thing in the action.
