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).

 Genitive case
The genitive case is an adjectival form of a noun that shows some sort of relationship between itself and what it describes.
It is a common misconception that English nouns have a genitive case, marked by the possessive -'s ending.
Linguists generally believe that English possessive is no longer a case at all, but has become a clitic, an independent particle which, however, is always written and pronounced as part of the preceding word.

 Declension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The patient of a (transitive) verb is in the accusative case.
This noun is in the trigger case, and information elsewhere in the sentence (for example a verb affix in Tagalog) specifies the role of the trigger.
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.

 Encyclopedia: Vocative case   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The vocative case is the case used for a noun identifying the person (animal, object, etc.) being addressed and/or occasionally the determiners of that noun.
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.
The vocative case in Romanian is inherited from Latin.

Cases for type are usually arranged in sets of two, called respectively the upper and the lower case.
Case is properly a falling off from the nominative or first state of word; the name for which, however, is now, by extension of its signification, applied also to the nominative.
The Oxford Universal Dictionary of Historical Principles (Feb 1993, reprinted 1952) indicates that this usage of "case" (as the box or frame used by a compositor in the printing trade) was first used in 1588.

The genitive case is a grammatical case that indicates a relationship, primarily one of possession, between the noun in the genitive case and another noun.
The term possessive case refers to a case that is similar, though usually more restricted in usage, to the genitive.
In some languages, nouns in the genitive case also agree in case with the nouns they modify (that is, the head noun is marked for two cases).

 oblique case   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
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.
An oblique case can appear in any case relationship except the nominative case of a sentence subject or the vocative case of direct address.
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.

 Termination - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Termination   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In electronics, it refers to the need to put a terminator (either a resistor or a resistor-capacitor network) on the beginning or end of a transmission line, to prevent signal reflections due to the impedance mismatch between the line and the empty space beyond its end.
In computer hardware in particular, terminators are needed in many bus-style communication channels, such as thin-wire Ethernet and SCSI.
However, practical algorithms can all be shown to converge, thus, they can be made to terminate simply by accepting a limit on the achievable precision of the computation.

 Locative case   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The locative case corresponds vaguely to the preposition "in", "at", or "by" of English and indicates a final location of action or a time of the action.
In languages such as Finnish, there is a set of six distinct locative cases that express different relationships to location.
In Hungarian language, nine such cases exist, yet the name locative case refers to a form used only in a few town names instead of or along with the Inessive case or Superessive case.

 Dative case - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The dative was common among early Indo-European languages and has survived to the present in the Slavic branch, the Baltic branch and the Germanic branch, among others.
While the dative case is no longer a part of modern English usage, it survives in a few set expressions.
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".

English use the term subjective case instead of nominative, in order to draw attention to the differences between the "standard" generic nominative and the way it is used in English.
Therefore, in some languages the nominative case is unmarked, that is, the nominative word is the base form or stem, with no flexion.
Moreover, in most languages with a nominative case, the nominative form is the one used to cite a word, to list it as a dictionary entry, etc.

This couldn't be done without reinterpreting to a certain extent the notion of what a case is for agglutinating languages, such as those in the Finno-Ugric language group.
Most common of the cases in Hungarian are the nominative case, accusative case and dative case; some express location and placement (see the chart below); and some express other relations (terminative case, essive-formal case, instrumental-comitative case, translative case, causal-final case).
There are further cases of restricted use (locative case, essive-modal case, distributive case, distributive-temporal case, sociative case).
