Distributive-temporal Case
The distributive-temporal of a noun is a grammatical case specifying when and how often something is done. In Hungarian This case (-nta/-nte) in Hungarian can express how often something happens (e.g. ''havonta'' "monthly", ''naponta'' "daily", ''telente'' "every winter", ''reggelente'' "every morning"); it can alternate with the distributive case in words of temporal meaning. In Finnish This adverb type in Finnish can express that something happens at a frequent point in time (e.g. "on Sundays" is ''sunnuntaisin''), or an origin (e.g. "born in" is ''syntyisin''). It is restricted to a small number of adverb stems and nouns, mostly those with the plural formed with an ''-i-'' suffix. The ending is ''-sin''. For example, the root ''päivä'' (day) has the plural ''päivi-'', and thus the temporal distributive ''päivisin'' ("during the days"). The temporal distributive case specifies when something is done, in contrast to the distributive case, which specifies how often somethi ...

Grammatical Case
A grammatical case is a category of nouns and noun modifiers (determiners, adjectives, participles, and Numeral (linguistics), numerals) that corresponds to one or more potential grammatical functions for a Nominal group (functional grammar), nominal group in a wording. In various languages, nominal groups consisting of a noun and its modifiers belong to one of a few such categories. For instance, in English language, English, one says ''I see them'' and ''they see me'': the nominative case, nominative pronouns ''I/they'' represent the perceiver, and the accusative case, accusative pronouns ''me/them'' represent the phenomenon perceived. Here, nominative and accusative are cases, that is, categories of pronouns corresponding to the functions they have in representation. English has largely lost its inflected case system but personal pronouns still have three cases, which are simplified forms of the nominative, accusative (including functions formerly handled by the Dative case, ...

The distributive case (abbreviated ) is used on nouns for the meanings of 'per' or 'each.'

Adverb
An adverb is a word or an expression that generally modifies a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a determiner, a clause, a preposition, or a sentence. Adverbs typically express manner, place, time, frequency, degree, or level of certainty by answering questions such as ''how'', ''in what way'', ''when'', ''where'', ''to what extent''. This is called the adverbial function and may be performed by an individual adverb, by an adverbial phrase, or by an adverbial clause. Adverbs are traditionally regarded as one of the parts of speech. Modern linguists note that the term ''adverb'' has come to be used as a kind of "catch-all" category, used to classify words with various types of syntactic behavior, not necessarily having much in common except that they do not fit into any of the other available categories (noun, adjective, preposition, etc.). Functions The English word ''adverb'' derives (through French) from Latin ''adverbium'', from ''ad-'' ('to'), ''verbum'' ('word', 'ver ...
