locativni

Locativni is a term used in linguistics to refer to the locative case. The locative case is a grammatical case that denotes a location, either relatively or absolutely. It answers the question "where?". Many languages, particularly Slavic languages, have a distinct locative case that is marked by specific inflectional endings on nouns, pronouns, and adjectives. For example, in Russian, the preposition "в" (v - in) or "на" (na - on) often triggers the locative case. The noun "дом" (dom - house) in the nominative case becomes "в доме" (v dome - in the house) in the locative case.

The locative case is not unique to Slavic languages. Similar grammatical functions exist in other language families, though they may not always be expressed through a dedicated case. Some languages use prepositions or postpositions to indicate location, while others might use adverbial constructions. In Indo-European languages, the locative case is considered one of the older cases, and its presence or absence in a language can be an indicator of its linguistic history. The exact form and function of the locative case can vary significantly between languages, but its core semantic role of indicating place remains consistent.
