The elative (or, in some cases, ablative) case is used with etsiä, löytyä, löytää, lukea and kuulla. (i.e. "where ... from?" instead of "where?"). The illative (or, in some cases, allative) case is used with saapua, eksyä, eksyttää, jäädä, jättää, hukkua, hukata, kadota, kadottaa, hävitä, hävittää and rakentaa. (i.e. "where ... to?" instead of "where?") The accusative case is used for searching or looking for and finding whatever was looked for (or to show determination that one won't stop looking until it is found), while the partitive case is used when something isn't found or it isn't certain whether it will be. ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== === References === Häkkinen, Kaisa (2004), Nykysuomen etymologinen sanakirja [Modern Finnish Etymological Dictionary] (in Finnish), Juva: WSOY, →ISBN === Further reading === “etsiä”, in Kielitoimiston sanakirja [Dictionary of Contemporary Finnish]‎[1] (in Finnish) (online dictionary, continuously updated), Kotimaisten kielten keskuksen verkkojulkaisuja 35, Helsinki: Kotimaisten kielten tutkimuskeskus (Institute for the Languages of Finland), 2004–, retrieved 2 July 2023 === Anagrams === esitä, etäis-, iestä, itseä, seitä, setiä, sietä, äesti == Ingrian == === Etymology === From Proto-Finnic *eccidäk.
