	Accusative case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The accusative case of a noun is the grammatical case used to mark the direct object of a verb.
		"Whom" is the accusative case of "who"; "him" is the accusative case of "he" (the final "m" of both of these words can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European accusative case suffix); and "her" is the accusative case of "she".
		This is the form in nominative case, used for the subject of a sentence.

		The vocative case is the case used for a noun identifying the person being addressed, found in Latin among other languages.
		In Latin, e.g., the nominative case is lupus and the vocative case is lupe!
		In English the vocative case is not marked, but English syntax performs a similar function; witness: "John, could you come here?" or "I don't think so, John", where "John" is neither subject nor object of the verb, but rather indicates the person to whom the statement is being addressed.

	Encyclopedia: Nominative case (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The nominative case is a grammatical case for a noun.
		This declension (case) indicates a change in state of a noun, with the general sense of becoming X or change to X. In the Finnish language, this is the counterpart of the Essive case, with the basic meaning of a change of state.
		In nominative-absolutive languages, the nominative case marks the subject of a transitive verb or a voluntary subject of an intransitive verb, but not an involuntary subject of an intransitive verb (for which the absolutive case is used).

		The patient of a (transitive) verb is in the accusative case.
		The trigger may be identified as the agent, patient, etc. Other nouns may be inflected for case, but the inflections are overloaded; for example, in Tagalog, the subject and object of a verb are both expressed in the genitive case when they are not in the trigger case.

	Dative case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The dative case is a grammatical case generally used to indicate the noun to whom something is given.
		The dative generally marks the indirect object of a verb, although in some instances, the dative is used for the direct object of a verb pertaining directly to an act of giving something.
		The pronoun whom is also a remnant of the dative case in English, descending from the Old English dative pronoun "hwām" (as opposed to the nominative "who", which descends from Old English "hwā") — though "whom" also absorbed the functions of the Old English accusative pronoun "hwone".

	Partitive case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The partitive case is a grammatical case which denotes "partialness", "without result", or "without specific identity".
		In the Finnish language, this case is often used to express unknown identities and actions.

	Oblique case (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In linguistics, an oblique case is a noun case that is used generally when a noun is the predicate of a sentence or a preposition.
		It contrasts also with an ergative case, used in ergative languages for nouns that are direct actors; in ergative languages, the same case is used for a direct object, and for the subject of a sentence where the subject is being passively described, rather than performing an action.
		In Indo-European languages, oblique cases often appear as the result of the simplification of the original, more complex system of noun cases shared by the historical Indo-European languages.

		The ablative case is used for oblique nouns that are the objects of motion away from a place or time.
