Abstract

Translative case, morphologically realized as the suffix -ksi in Finnish and -vá/-vé in Hungarian,
is strongly associated with the notion of change (cf. e.g. Fong, 2003; Matushansky, 2008; and
references therein). For instance, in Finnish, it marks the predicative complements of such changedenoting verbs as tulla ‘become’ and muuttua ‘change’/‘turn (into)’ (1), the second (result-statedenoting) complement of the causative variant muuttaa ‘change’ (2), and the nominal predicates
in resultative constructions (3).
