Illative (abbreviated ; from Latin ''illatus'' "brought in") is, in the Finnish language, Estonian language and the Hungarian language, the third of the locative cases with the basic meaning of "into (the inside of)". An example from Hungarian is "a házba" (into the house, with "a ház" meaning "the house"). An example from Estonian is "majasse" and "majja" (into the house), formed from "maja" (a house). An example from Finnish is "taloon" (into the house), formed from "talo" (a house). ==Illative case in the Finnish language== In Finnish, the case is formed by adding ''-hVn'', where 'V' represents the last vowel, and then removing the 'h' if a simple long vowel would result. For example, ''talo + hVn'' becomes ''talohon'', where the 'h' elides and produces ''taloon'' with a simple long 'oo'; cf. ''maa + hVn'' becomes ''maahan'', without the elision of 'h'. This unusually complex way of adding a suffix can be explained by its reconstructed origin: a voiced palatal fricative. (Modern Finnish has lost palatalization and fricatives other than 'h' or 's'.) In the dialect of Pohjanmaa, the 'h' is not removed; one does say ''talohon''. The other locative cases in Finnish, Estonian and Hungarian are: *Inessive case ("in") *Elative case ("out of") *Adessive case ("on") *Allative case ("onto") *Ablative case ("from off") 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Illative case」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
