Cases in Finnish

Latin has six cases (and sometimes a seventh), Greek has four, but Finnish has 14 or 15: Nominative, genitive, essive, partitive, translative, inessive, elative, illative, adessive, ablative, allative, abessive, comitative, instructive, and maybe accusative. And then there are the disputed cases: prolative, exessive, compositive, lative, multiplicative.
