The instrumental case is a grammatical construct that is used in a number of languages, including Russian, Armenian, and Lithuanian. It is the case that denotes the instrument or means by which an action is performed. In English, it is often translated as "by" or "with". Some synonyms for the instrumental case include the instructive case, the instrumental-comitative case, and the ablative case. These cases all have similar functions, but may have slight variations in some languages. Understanding the instrumental case and its synonyms is essential for mastering the grammar of many languages, particularly those that use a complex case system.
