Terminative case

In morphology, the terminative case is a case to tell where something ends (i. e. answers "Until what point in space or time?").

Usage in Estonian

In the Estonian language, the terminative case is indicated by the '-ni' suffix:

*"jõeni": "to the river" / "as far as the river"
*"kella kuueni": "until six o'clock"

Usage in Hungarian

The Hungarian language uses the '-ig' suffix.

*"a házig": "as far as the house"
*"hat óráig / hatig": "until six o'clock"

If used for time, it can also show how long the action lasted.

*"hat óráig": "for six hours" / "six hours long"
*"száz évig": "for a hundred years"

It is not always clear whether the thing in terminative case belongs to the interval in question or not.
*"A koncertig maradtam.": "I stayed until the concert (ended or started?)" Here it is more likely that the person only stayed there until the concert began.
*"Mondj egy számot 1-től 10-ig!": "Say a number from 1 to (until) 10." However here you can say 10 as well!

The corresponding question word is "Meddig?", which is simply the question word "Mi?" ("what?") in terminitive case.
