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:

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
küktə salawat küpere - there is a rainbow in the sky
· The indirect object of verbs governing this case:
bəygedə qatnaşabız - we participate in a contest
