Locative

Locative should be formed with several prepositions like k (towards), na (on), o (about), po (after), pri (at), protiv (against), v (in) by appending suffixes to both adjective and to noun. Suffixes are different for gender and number.

However locative suffixes can be ommited due to large differences between slavic languages. Also the existence of a preposition indicates the intention of the noun and adjective.
