Noun
elative
#grammar In Semitic languages, the âadjective of superiority.â In some languages such as Arabic, the concepts of comparative and superlative degree of an adjective are merged into a single form, the elative. How this form is understood or translated depends upon context and definiteness. In the absence of comparison, the elative conveys the notion of âgreatestâ, âsupreme.â
#:The elative of ARchar|ÙبÙر (kabÃ:r, "big") is ARchar|اÙبر|Ø£Ùبر (âákbar, âbigger/biggestâ, âgreater/greatestâ).
#grammar In Finno-Ugric languages, one of the locative cases. The elative case is a noun case that expresses âout of,â as in Finnish talosta, Hungarian házból (âout of the houseâ). Its opposite is the illative case (âintoâ).
