Allative case

Grammatical case The allative case (/ˈælətɪv/ AL-ə-tiv; abbreviated all; from Latin allāt-, afferre "to bring to") is a type of locative grammatical case. The term allative is generally used for the lative case for the majority of languages that do not make finer distinctions. Finnish For the Finnish language (a Uralic language), the allative is the fifth of the locative cases, with the basic meaning of "onto". Its ending is -lle, for example pöytä (table) and pöydälle (onto the top of the table). In addition, it is the logical complement of the adessive case for referring to "being around the place". For example, koululle means "to the vicinity of the school". With time, the use is the same: ruokatunti (lunch break) and ... lähti ruokatunnille ("... left to the lunch break"). Some actions require the case, e.g. kävely - mennä kävelylle "a walk - go for a walk". It also means "to" or "for", for example minä (me) and minulle (to/for me). The other locative cases in Finnish and Estonian are these: Inessive case ("in") Elative case ("out of") Illative case ("into") Adessive case ("at", "in the vicinity of" or "on") Ablative case ("away from" or "off of") Baltic language
