Abessive	In linguistics, abessive (abbreviated abe or abess), caritive and privative (abbreviated priv) are names for a grammatical case expressing the lack or absence of the marked noun.
Ablative	The ablative case (abbreviated abl) indicates movement from something, or cause.
Accusative	The accusative case (abbreviated acc) indicates the direct object of a verb.
Comitative	The comitative case (abbreviated com), also known as the associative case (abbreviated ass), is a grammatical case that denotes companionship, and is used where English would typically use preposition "with" in the sense of "in company with" or "together with" (other uses of "with," e.g. with the meaning of "using," "by means of" (I cut bread with a knife) would correspond to the instrumental case or related cases).
Dative	The dative case (abbreviated dat, or sometimes d when it is a core argument) indicates the indirect object of a verb.
Delative	The delative case (abbreviated del; from Latin deferre "to bear or bring away or down") in the Hungarian language can originally express the movement from the surface of something (e.g. "off the table"), but it is used in several other meanings (e.g. "about people"), some of them related to the original (e.g. "from the post office").
Distributive	The distributive case (abbreviated distr) is used on nouns for the meanings of per or each.
DistributiveTemporal	The distributive-temporal case specifies when something is done.
Essive	The essive or similaris case (abbreviated ess) carries the meaning of a temporary location or state of being, often equivalent to the English "as a (child)".
Genitive	The genitive case (abbreviated gen; also called the possessive case or second case), which roughly corresponds to English's possessive case and preposition of, indicates the possessor of another noun.
Instrumental	The instrumental case (abbreviated ins or instr; also called the eighth case) indicates an object used in performing an action.
Instructive	In the Finnish language and Estonian language, the instructive case has the basic meaning of "by means of". It is a comparatively rarely used case, though it is found in some commonly used expressions, such as omin silmin -> "with one's own eyes".
Lative	Lative (abbreviated lat) is a case which indicates motion to a location. It corresponds to the English prepositions "to" and "into". The lative case belongs to the group of the general local cases together with the locative and separative case. The term derives from the Latin lat-, the participle stem of ferre, "to bring".
Locative (Maybe Locative)	The locative case (abbreviated loc) indicates a location.
Multiplicative	The multiplicative case is a grammatical case used for marking a number of something ("three times").
Nominative	The nominative case (abbreviated nom) indicates the subject of a finite verb.
Partitive	The partitive case (abbreviated ptv or more ambiguously part) denotes "partialness", "without result", or "without specific identity". It is also used in contexts where a subgroup is selected from a larger group, or with numbers.
Sublative	The term sublative case (abbreviated subl) is used to refer to grammatical cases expressing different situations: In Hungarian, it expresses the destination of the movement, originally to the surface of something (e.g. sit down on the ground, climb the tree), but in other figurative meanings as well (e.g. to university, for two nights), while in Tsez and other Northeast Caucasian languages it denotes a movement towards the bottomsides or the area under an object. The sublative case is used in the Finnish, Tsez and Hungarian languages.
SuperEssive	The Superessive case (abbreviated supe) is a grammatical declension indicating location on top of, or on the surface of something. Its name comes from Latin supersum, superesse: to be over and above.
Translative	The translative case (abbreviated transl) is a grammatical case that indicates a change in state of a noun, with the general sense of "becoming X" or "change to X".
Vocative	The vocative case indicates an addressee.
