Allatiivipäteen

Allatiivipäteen refers to a grammatical case, the allative case, specifically in the Finnish language. The allative case is a local case used to express motion towards a location or destination. In Finnish, it is typically formed by adding the suffix -lle to the stem of a noun. For example, "talo" (house) becomes "talolle" (to the house). It can also indicate possession or the recipient of something. The allative case is one of the fifteen cases in Finnish grammar. It is distinct from other local cases like the inessive (in), elative (out of), and translative (into/as). The allative's primary function is to show direction and arrival at a place. It is a fundamental part of Finnish syntax, essential for conveying spatial relationships and directional movement within sentences. Understanding the allative case is crucial for comprehending and constructing grammatically correct Finnish sentences involving movement towards a destination.
