> In Estonian, there is two most common forms of date: nominative and
adessive; second one is usually used when something is happening ON the
date and mostly in the sentence or at least in the phrase, not separately
(e.g. something is due ON the date, something will happen ON the date and
so on). When used separately as indicating the date, nominative is mostly
used (e.g. in the tables and so on).
