allatiivpluraali

Allatiivpluraali, also known as the allative plural, is a grammatical case used to indicate the direction or destination of a group of entities. It is commonly found in the Uralic languages, particularly in Finnish and Estonian, as well as in some other languages of the region. The allative plural is used to express the idea that a group of entities is moving towards or into a specific location.

In Finnish, for example, the allative plural is formed by adding the suffix "-lle" to the plural form of the noun. For instance, the plural form of the word "kissa" (cat) is "kissat," and the allative plural form is "kissoille." This indicates that the group of cats is moving towards a specific location.

The allative plural serves a similar function in Estonian, where it is formed by adding the suffix "-de" to the plural form of the noun. For example, the plural form of the word "koer" (dog) is "koerad," and the allative plural form is "koeradesse." This indicates that the group of dogs is moving towards a specific location.

The allative plural is an important grammatical case in the Uralic languages, as it allows speakers to express the direction or destination of a group of entities in a clear and concise manner. Its usage is a reflection of the linguistic and cultural heritage of the Uralic peoples, who have developed and refined this grammatical case over centuries.
