Cases

Post by Clive » Sat Jul 23, 2005 2:20 pm

I'm not new to learning languages, but when it comes to learning a new one I always get stumped by all the cases. It's all very well people giving you a great list of what a word is in the nominative, genetive, accusative, partitive, adessive, ablative, allative, inessive, elative, illative, essive, translative, abessive, comitative and instructive case, but what do they all mean?

Please will someone help me work out what these tenses are, where they're used and how they're used... they confuse the hell out of me.
