n (grammar) A
case used to indicate
place, or the place where, or wherein. It corresponds roughly to the English
prepositions "in", "on", "at", and "by". Languages that use the locative case include
Armenian,
Azeri,
Belarusian,
Catalan,
Serbo-Croatian,
Czech,
Dyirbal,
Latvian,
Lithuanian,
Polish,
Quechua,
Russian,
Sanskrit,
Serbo-Croatian,
Slovak,
