Elative case

In grammar, the elative case (abbreviated ; from Latin "efferre" "to bring or carry out") is a locative grammatical case with the basic meaning "out of".
Usage.
Uralic languages.
In Finnish, the elative is typically formed by adding "sta/stä", in Estonian by adding "-st" to the genitive stem and "-õst" in Livonian. In Hungarian, the suffix "-ból/-ből" expresses the elative:
"talosta" - "out of the house, from the house" (Finnish "talo" = "house")<br> "taloista" - "out of the houses, from the houses" (Finnish "talot" = "houses")<br>
"majast" - "out of the house, from the house" (Estonian "maja" = "house")<br>
"házból" - "out of the house" (Hungarian "ház" = "house")
In some dialects of colloquial Finnish it is common to drop the final vowel of the elative ending, which then becomes identical to the elative morpheme of Estonian; for example: "talost".
Russian.
In some rare cases the elative still exists in contemporary Russian, though it was used more widely in 17-18th cc. texts: и́з лесу (out of the forest), кровь и́з носу (blood from the nose), из Яросла́влю (from Yaroslavl).
