Understanding the Allative Case in Eesti
The Allative Case is a special way to show direction in the Estonian language. It tells us where something or someone is moving towards. Think of it as the 'to' case. Just like when you say 'to the park' in English, in Estonian, you use the Allative Case to show this movement.
Important Points
- The Allative Case is used to indicate movement towards a place or direction.
- It often ends with '-le' in Estonian.
- It is similar to saying 'to' in English.
When you want to say that someone is going to a specific place, you change the end of the word to use the Allative Case. This helps everyone understand where the person or thing is moving.
Examples
- Lapsed lähevad koolile.
- Koer jookseb aedale.
- Ma lähen poodile.
In these examples, the words 'koolile', 'aedale', and 'poodile' show where the children, dog, and I are going. The '-le' ending tells us the direction.
Important Points
- Use the Allative Case when talking about moving towards places.
- It helps make sentences clear and shows direction.
