The partitive case (abbreviated PTV or more ambiguously PART) is a grammatical case which denotes "partialness", "without result", or "without specific identity". It is also used in contexts where a subgroup is selected from a larger group, or with numbers.
Famous quotes containing the word case:
“And the case of butterflies so rich it looks
As if all summer settled there and died.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
