Locative

The locative is formed using the suffix -da, -də, -ta, -tə;


🔶 The suffix -da/-də is joined to stems ending in a vowel or a voiced consonant:


bakçada - in the garden/park

qulda - in the hand

uramda - in (on) the street


🔸 The suffix -ta/-tə is joined to stems ending in a voiceless consonant: 

ağaçta – on the tree

waqıtta - in/at (the) time


🔸 Words (including proper names) with final b, g, d borrowed from or via Russian or other languages take -ta:

klubta - at the club

Madridta - in Madrid


🔸 If the stem has a possessive suffix in the third person singular or plural, -n- precedes the locative suffix:

unaltınçı ğasırnıñ başında - at the beginning of the 16th century


🔶 The locative indicates:

· Place or time of the action:

ul awılda yəşi - he lives in a village

kük salawat küpere - there is a rainbow in the sky


· The indirect object of verbs governing this case:

bəyge qatnaşabız - we participate in a contest


· Motion (only with some adverbs of place):

kil monda - come here,

anda barma! - do not go there!
