In Estonian grammar, there are 14 cases: Nominative, Genitive, Partitive, Illative, Inessive, Elative, Allative, Adessive, Ablative, Translative, Terminative, Essive, Abessive, and Comitative. These cases define the relationships between the words in a sentence and help indicate their function. Understanding the correct usage of these cases is essential for mastering Estonian grammar.
