Finnish

[edit]

I have added a 'citation needed' to the Finnish reference. I looked in Finnish: an essential grammar (Routledge), and found no reference to it, and searched through the first couple of pages of Google for this case and Finnish - the only references were from this Wikipedia article, and other sites that cite it verbatim. I do not believe the assertion that there is an equative case in Finnish can be supported - I'm tempted to remove that part of the article. It may be another case under a different name. The Finnish grammar article does not list this as a case in Finnish, either. Scyrene (talk) 21:47, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it. It seems like it's just the genitive case (ikäisen, näköisen) with a third-person possessive suffix (-nsA) tacked on – 1sgikäiseni, 2sg ikäisesi, 1pl ikäisemme and 2pl ikäisenne are also used. brtkrbzhnv (talk) 11:25, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Turkish

[edit]

Wouldn't -ımsı/-imsi and -ımtrak fit this for Turkish? Kedimsi, for example, with kedi meaning cat and msi (the i has become one) meaning cat-like. IbishTheIbish (talk) 13:28, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
