Ablative case

Okay kiddo, imagine you have a basket full of different things like toys, books, and food. Now, let's say you want to tell someone that you have a cookie in your basket and you want to give it to them.

To do this, you have to use different words to show which thing you are talking about (the cookie) and who you want to give it to (the person). In grammar, we call these different words "cases".

The case we are going to talk about today is called the "ablative case". This case is used to show movement or separation from something or someone.

So, going back to our cookie example, if we want to tell someone that we are taking the cookie out of our basket to give it to them, we would use the ablative case. We would say something like "I am taking the cookie out of the basket for you."

The word "basket" would be in a different case, probably the "genitive case", which shows possession (meaning the basket belongs to you). But the word "cookie" would be in the ablative case because we are separating it from the basket to give it to someone else.

Overall, the ablative case is just a fancy way of indicating movement or separation from something. It's like putting a special label on a word to show that it's doing something specific in the sentence.
