Distributive case
The distributive case is used on nouns for the meanings of per or each.
In Hungarian it is -nként and expresses the manner when something happens to each member of a set one by one, or the frequency in time.
In the Finnish language, this adverb type is rare, even rarer in the singular. Its ending is -ttain/-ttäin. The basic meaning is "separately for each". For example, maa becomes maittain for an expression like Laki ratifioidaan maittain. It can be used to distribute the action to frequent points in time, e.g., päivä has the plural distributive päivittäin.
It can mean also "in regard to the perspective" when combined with a word referring to an inhabitant. Frequently Finns say that suomalaisittain tuntuu oudolta, että..., or "in the Finnish perspective, it feels strange that...".
