Locative case
The locative case is found in some classical Indo-European languages, particularly Sanskrit and Latin. It is still found in uncommon, archaic or literary use in certain modern Indian languages (such as Marathi in which a separate ablative case has however disappeared). It is in common use in Baltic and Slavic languages; in latter it is called prepositional.The locative case corresponds vaguely to the preposition "in", "at", or "by" of English and indicates a final location of action or a time of the action.
In languages such as Finnish, there is a set of six distinct locative cases that express different relationships to location.
