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.
Nominative | Gender | Locative |
+y muž nož | M | +om mužu nožu |
+a voda paleta | F | +ej vode palete |
+e drevo koleno | N | +om dreve kolene |
Examples
kviet protiv dobrom mužu (flower against good husband) S/M
les na svežej vode (forest on a fresh water) S/F
poviesť o malom dreve (novel about small tree) S/N
efekt po dalekih synah (effect after distant sons) P/M
golub pri zelenih vratah (pigeon at green gates) P/F
krepost v velikih kraľevstvah (fortress in great kingdoms) P/N
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.
