It, and many other cases, are found in the Finnish language, the Hungarian language, and the Estonian language. In the Estonian language comitative is formed by adding the suffix '-ga' to the genitive in case of singular:
  • nina (nominative: nose) -> nina (genitive) -> ninaga (comitative: with a nose)
  • koer (nominative: dog) -> koera (genitive) -> koeraga (comitative: with a dog)
And by adding the suffixes '-de' and '-ga' to the partitive in case of plural:
  • leht (nominative: leaf, page) -> lehte (partitive) -> lehtedega (comitative: with leaves)
  • kass (nominative: cat) -> kassi (partitive) -> kassidega (comitative: with cats)
In the Estonian language comitative is also used to denote when something is used as an implement - kirvega (with axe / using an axe) or as a means of transport laevaga (by boat).
