What is Grammatical Case?

Case is a feature of many languages - German, Latin, Arabic, Russian - even English. But what is it? How does it work? Where does it come from? This video goes thoroughly over the basics of case with a linguistic approach.

A bit of a jargony one this month! I made the first "What is" video way back as my first video. And wow my audio was terrible back then. But here it finally is - another of these. Let me know what other topics you want to see. Sorry it's a few hours late out - I had several technical issues in the edit. Another big one planned for next month - make sure to look out for that. Really hope you enjoy the video!

I remember hearing about a language where its entire case system is clitic-based, sadly I forgot the name

I think that's what Japanese does. WALS also has a bit on it: wals.info/feature/51A
