comitative case

Animacy also plays a major role in most languages that have a Comitative case.

The final way in which Comitative case can be expressed is by serial-verb constructions.

Comitative case is also often confused with Associative case.

Adverbial constructions can also mark Comitative case, although they act very similarly to adpositions.

The comitative case is marked with -k'a and is used to indicate accompaniment.

In this case, the preposition "avec" is used to express Comitative case.

However, the Comitative case marker cannot be used if the companion has a plural marker.

In Hungarian the instrumental and comitative case look the same, see Instrumental-comitative case.

It is somewhat similar to the comitative case, but different in that it denotes communication or relationship, not physical companionship.

French uses prepositions to express Comitative case.

Comitative case encodes a relationship of "accompaniment" between two participants in an event, called the "accompanee" and the "companion."

Ordos retains a variant of the old comitative case and shares the innovated directive case.

This case in Hungarian language contains the Instrumental case and the Comitative case at the same time.

A language which marks Comitative case with serial-verb constructions is Chinese (Stolz et al 2009:603).

Some cases and moods are rarely constructive in spoken Finnish, e.g. the instructive and comitative cases and the potential mood.

The definition of Comitative case is often conflated or confused with other similar cases, especially Instrumental case and Associative case.

Also, Uralic languages reuse the adessive case where available, locative case if not, to mark the same category, or comitative case (Estonian).

While other cases are typically expressed by affixes, Comitative case is also commonly expressed through adpositions, adverbs, and serial-verbs (Stolz et al. 2009:602-3).

The case system is standard Oirat which differs from Mongolian in lacking an allative and retaining the old comitative case, that is, it is rather conservative.

Note that a noun in the comitative case is always followed by a possessive suffix, but an adjective is not: "Mies ylellisine taloineen", "A man with his luxurious house(s)".

In some variants (e.g. Vaasa, Kymenlaakso) of spoken Finnish -n kanssa is abbreviated into a clitic that is effectively a comitative case, e.g. -nkans or -nkaa.

Languages which use affixation to express Comitative case include Hungarian, which uses suffixes; Totonac, which uses prefixes; and Chukchi, which uses circumfixes (Stolz et al 2009:602).

In addition to case, a number of postpositions exist that usually govern genitive, ablative, or comitative case or a form of the nominative that has sometimes -Vn either for lexical historical reasons or analogy (thus maybe becoming an attributive case suffix).
