  "body": "The semblative case (abbreviated ) or similative case (abbreviated ) is a grammatical case that denotes the similarity of one entity to another. The semblative case is sometimes referred to as the similative case. ==In Wagiman== Wagiman, an indigenous Australian language, has a semblative case suffix -yiga, that is functionally identical to the -like suffix in English, as in the example: ==In Warlpiri== In Warlpiri, the semblative case can be a semantic case, i.e., it can be semantically richer and less dependent on the verb. In the example below, the -piya ('like') suffix can act as the main predicate and can attach to a demonstrative, suggesting that it is not purely a derivational affix. 'The barn owl is white. The Boobook owl is just like him except that the barn owl is white.' ==In English== Although the semblative case is not found in English, there are several semblative derivational suffixes, including -like, -ish and -esque.
