 * When asking to do or help do an action, the verb uses the illative case of the third infinitive, while who is being asked to help is in the partitive case.
 * Who or what is invited is in the accusative or partitive case depending on telicity. What is being invited to is in the illative or allative case, depending on the word and exact meaning.
