AI overview

The dative case is a grammatical feature found in some languages that marks nouns as the recipients or targets of an action, particularly indicating who or what something is given to. It matters because languages that use cases rely on these forms to clarify grammatical relationships and meaning in sentences, rather than relying solely on word order.
