- n. grammar : case used to indicate the patient or experiencer
of a verb’s action. The absolutive case is used to mark the
subject of an intransitive verb, as well as the object of a
transitive verb (inasmuch as they are codified in the English
nominative-accusative system). Some languages that employ the
absolutive case include Abkhaz, Basque, Chechen, Dyirbal, Hindi,
Inuktitut, Navajo, Hiligaynon, and Yup'ik. Sorry, no example
