An absolutive case is a case in grammar used to indicate the patient of a verb's action - or the one who experiences it.

What is the difference between ergative and absolutive in linguistic typology?

In linguistic typology, ergative and absolutive are two different types of grammatical systems used to mark the subjects and objects of a sentence. In an ergative-absolutive language, the subject of an intransitive verb is treated differently from the subject of a transitive verb. The ergative case is used for the subject of a transitive verb, while the absolutive case is used for the subject of an intransitive verb and the object of a transitive verb. This contrast is a key feature of ergative-absolutive languages, distinguishing them from nominative-accusative languages where the subject of both types of verbs is treated the same.

What are the types of typology?

Typology is a subfield of linguistics that studies and classifies languages according to their structural features.One set of types reflects the basic order of subject, verb, and direct object in sentences:Subject-verb-objectSubject-object-verbVerb-subject-objectVerb-object-subjectObject-subject-verbObject-verb-subjectAnother common classification distinguishes nominative-accusative languages and ergative-absolutive ones. In a language with cases, the classification depends on whether the subject of an intransitive verb has the same case as the agent or the patient of a transitive verb. If a language has no cases, but the word order AVP or PVA, then a classification may reflect whether the subject of an intransitive verb appears on the same side as the agent or the patient of the transitive verb.

Suffix-tin indicates that something is stratched and thin?

Actually, the suffix "-tin" is not related to indicating something as stretched and thin. "Tin" is a metal, while suffixes in general are used to modify the meaning of a word by adding it as a suffix at the end. For example, the suffix "-atin" is used to form adjectives related to Latin or resembling Latin, as in "Latinatin."
