Senses

celownik is used for these senses in English:

  • dative (grammar) Denoting the case of a noun which expresses the remoter or indirect object, generally indicated in English by to or for with the objective.
  • dative case (grammar) Case used to express direction towards an indirect object, the recipient or beneficiary of an action, and is generally indicated in English by to (when a recipient) or for (when a beneficiary) with the objective case. The direct object may be either stated or unstated where the indirect object is the beneficiary of the verbal action, but is stated where the indirect object is a recipient. If there is emphasis on the indirect object, the indirect object usually precedes the direct object and is not usually indicated with to or for; said structure is also used when neither object is being emphasized.

  • sight (often, in the plural) A device used in aiming a projectile, through which the person aiming looks at the intended target.
