Definition of ablative case

• A noun case used in some languages to indicate movement '''away from''something, removal, separation. In English grammar, it corresponds roughly to the use in English of prepositions "of", "from", "away from", and "concerning". In Latin grammar, the ablative case includes functions derived from the Indo-European ablative, instrumental, and locative cases, and expresses concepts similar to those of the English prepositions, respectively: "of"/"from", "by", and "at"/"in"/"with". ''Here/hence/hither'', ''there/thence/thither'', and ''where/whence/whither'are the only English words with separate forms for the ablative and lative cases
