Locative (abbreviated ) is a grammatical case which indicates a location. It corresponds vaguely to the English prepositions "in", "on", "at", and "by". The locative case belongs to the general local cases together with the lative and separative case. The locative case exists in many language groups. ==Indo-European languages== The Proto-Indo-European language had a locative case expressing "place where", an adverbial function. The endings are reconstructed as follows: In most later Indo-European languages, the locative case merged into other cases (often genitive or dative) in form and/or function, but some daughter languages retained it as a distinct case. It is found in: * modern Balto-Slavic languages except Bulgarian and Macedonian (Russian has reduced it to a prepositional case) * some classical Indo-European languages, particularly Sanskrit and Old Latin * uncommon, archaic or literary use in certain modern Indian languages (such as Marathi in which a separate ablative case has however disappeared) 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「Locative case」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
