a grammatical case found in some languages that indicates a change in state or transformation into something else

What is the "translative case"?

The translative case is a grammatical case used to indicate a change in state, condition, or form. It often expresses the idea of something becoming something else or transforming. This case is found in languages such as Finnish and Estonian, where nouns change form to reflect this transition. For example, in Finnish, the word for "teacher" is "opettaja," and in the translative case, it becomes "opettajaksi," meaning "to become a teacher." The translative case helps clarify the result or outcome of an action or transformation in a sentence.
