In the Hungarian language the essive-formal case or formative case[1][2][3] can be viewed as combining an essive case and a formal case, and it can express the position, task, state (e.g. "as a tourist"), or the manner (e.g. "like a hunted animal").
The status of the suffix -ként in the declension system was disputed earlier for some reasons. First, in general, Hungarian case suffixes are absolute word-final, while -ként permits further suffixation by the locative suffix -i (however, the latter derivational suffix can follow other case suffixes as well, e.g. -ban/-ben in nagybani; it was more widespread until the early 20th century, e.g. ágy(tól) és asztaltóli elválasztás). Second, most Hungarian case endings participate in vowel harmony, while -ként does not (its late development makes it understandable). For these reasons, many earlier analyses of the Hungarian case system, such as László Antal's A magyar esetrendszer (1961) did not consider the essive-formal to be a case.
However, it complies with the criterion for Hungarian cases set by modern descriptive grammars,[1][2][3][4] namely that it can appear as a verb argument specified in its form, such as in kezel (vmi)ként (’treat, handle as ...’), viselkedik (vmi)ként (’behave as ...’), végez (vmi)ként (’graduate as ...’), elhelyezkedik (vmi)ként (’find employment as ...’) etc. Therefore, it is today considered as one of the 18 established and acknowledged cases in Hungarian, rather than being one of the adverb-forming suffixes, which don't comply with the above criterion (being the argument of a verb, specified in its form).
