Everything about Distributive Case totally explained
This case in the
Hungarian language can express the manner when something happens to each member of a set one by one (eg. "per head", "in each case"), or the frequency in time ("once
a week", "every ten minutes").
In Finnish, this
adverb type is rare and even rarer in singular. Its ending is
-ttain/-ttäin. The basic meaning is "separately for each". For example,
maa "country" becomes
maittain for an expression like
Laki ratifioidaan maittain., or "The law is ratified
separately in each country". It can be used to distribute the action to frequent points in time, for example
päivä (day) has the plural distributive
päivittäin (each day).
It can mean also "in/with regard to the (cultural) perspective" when combined with a word referring to an inhabitant (
-lais-). Frequently Finns (
suomalaiset) say that
suomalaisittain tuntuu oudolta, että ..., or "
in the Finnish perspective, it feels strange that ...".
