ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Equative case

Imagine you and your best friend are the same age and height. You are both equally tall and equally old. This means you are in the equative case. Equative case is used when we want to say that two things or people are the same or equal in a certain way. It's like saying "this thing is just like that thing" or "these two people are exactly the same in this aspect." In grammar, we use different words and endings to show that we are using the equative case.
