Understanding the Eesti Adessive Case
In the Estonian language, we have something called cases. Cases help us understand the role of a word in a sentence. Today, we will learn about the Adessive Case, which is like a special helper that tells us where something is happening or who has something.
Important Points
- The Adessive Case often answers the question 'where?'
- It can also show who has something.
- Words in the Adessive Case usually end in '-l' or '-l on'.
- This case is like saying 'on' in English, like 'on the table'.
Let's see how we can use the Adessive Case with some examples.
Examples
- Raamat on laual.
- Koer on õuel.
- Emal on auto.
In these examples, 'laual' means 'on the table', 'õuel' means 'in the yard', and 'emal on' means 'mother has'. So, you can see how the Adessive Case helps us know where something is or who has something.
Now, let's practice using the Adessive Case with some more examples.
