Hungarian case #

Hungarian marks case by agglutinative suffix. Kenesei, Vago and Fenyvesi list eighteen cases: the nominative, the accusative -t, the dative -nak ~ -nek, the instrumental -val ~ -vel, the causal -ért, the essive -ul ~ -ül, the essive-formal -ként, the terminative -ig, the translative -vá ~ -vé, and the nine local cases, which form a matrix of three regions, interior, exterior and near, by three directions, motion toward, rest and motion away: the illative -ba ~ -be, inessive -ban ~ -ben and elative -ból ~ -ből, the sublative -ra ~ -re, superessive -n and delative -ról ~ -ről, and the allative -hoz, adessive -nál ~ -nél and ablative -tól ~ -től. Rounds adds the less productive temporal -kor, distributive -nként, distributive-temporal -nta and sociative -stul ~ -stül. There is no genitive: the possessor within the noun phrase is nominative or dative, and both grammars gloss -nak ~ -nek as a dative throughout, the reading under which Blake and Caha take Hungarian's missing genitive as a superficial exception to the case hierarchy.

Implementation notes #

The essive-formal, the distributive, the distributive-temporal and the sociative have no comparative label and are left out; the instrumental -val ~ -vel also expresses accompaniment, and no separate comitative is recorded.
