Benefactive case
From Free net encyclopedia
The benefactive case is a case used where English would use "for," "for the benefit of," or "intended for." For example, "She opened the door for Tom," or "This book is for Bob."
An example of a language with a benefactive case is Basque, which has a benefactive case ending in -entzat. Quechua is another example, and the benefactive case ending in Quechua is -paq. Tangkhul-Naga ( from the Tibeto Burman group of languages) has the benefactive case marker -wiʋaŋ.
