ilatiivimuoto

Ilatiivimuoto, also known as the illative case, is a grammatical case used in some Uralic languages, particularly in Finnish and Estonian. It is used to indicate movement into a place, container, or state. The illative case is formed by adding the suffix "-hun" to the base form of the word in Finnish, and "-sse" in Estonian. For example, in Finnish, the word "koti" (home) in the illative case becomes "kotiin," meaning "into the home." In Estonian, the word "kodu" (home) becomes "kodusse," also meaning "into the home." This case is essential for expressing spatial and temporal relationships, as well as states of being. It is one of the many cases in the Uralic languages, which are known for their complex case systems.
