The locative case marks the position or location of objects :<\/p>\n
Here are some sample sentences :<\/p>\n
She sat on the horse : \u0935\u0939\u00a0\u0918\u094b\u095c\u0947\u00a0\u092a\u0930\u00a0\u092c\u0948\u0920\u0940<\/strong><\/p>\n The paper is on the table : \u0915\u093e\u0917\u091c\u093c\u00a0\u092e\u0947\u095b\u00a0\u092a\u0930 \u0939\u0948<\/strong><\/p>\n My clothes are on the roof : \u092e\u0947\u0930\u0947<\/strong>\u00a0\u0915\u092a\u0921\u093c\u0947 <\/strong>\u091b\u0924 \u092a\u0930<\/strong> \u0939\u0948\u0902<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The common word in all these sentences is \u092a\u0930. <\/strong>In all these sentences, \u092a\u0930\u00a0<\/strong>indicates that\u00a0the object will be in\u00a0the locative case. For example, in the sentence, “The paper is on the table”, “table” (\u092e\u0947\u095b<\/strong>) is in the locative case. Similarly, “horse”\u00a0 (\u0918\u094b\u095c\u0947<\/strong>) in the sentence “She sat on the horse” is in the locative and “roof” (\u091b\u0924<\/strong><\/span>)\u00a0in “My clothes are on the roof” is also in the locative. Notice that in these three sentences, the word “on” in English was translated as \u092a\u0930 <\/strong>in Hindi. However, sometimes, the use of <\/span><\/span>\u092a\u0930<\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/strong>doesn’t sound quite right if you use the English “of”. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Here are some examples :<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n I eat at the table : <\/span><\/span>\u092e\u0948\u0902 \u092e\u0947\u091c \u092a\u0930 \u0916\u093e\u0928\u093e \u0916\u093e\u0924\u093e \u0939\u0942\u0901<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n His office is some distance from here : <\/span><\/span>\u0909\u0938\u0915\u093e<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>\u0926\u095e\u094d\u0924\u0930<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>\u092f\u0939\u093e\u0901 \u0938\u0947 \u0915\u0941\u091b \u0926\u0941\u0930\u0940 \u092a\u0930<\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/span>\u0939\u0948<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n In general, the sentence would make more sense to say, “I eat at the table” rather than “I eat on the table”.\u00a0It’s also possible to say, “His office is some distance on from here”, but most\u00a0English speakers\u00a0would probably just omit the “on”. In a lot of cases, “on” in English\u00a0does correspond to <\/span><\/span>\u092a\u0930<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span><\/strong>so it’s not something to worry too much about.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Now take a look at these sentences:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n My son studies in college : \u092e\u0947\u0930\u093e\u00a0\u092c\u0947\u091f\u093e\u00a0\u0915\u093e\u0932\u0947\u091c\u00a0\u092e\u0947\u0902 \u092a\u0922\u093c\u0924\u093e<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u0939\u0948<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n I sat in the car : \u092e\u0948\u0902 \u0917\u093e\u0921\u093c\u0940 \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u092c\u0948\u0920\u093e<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n My office is in Delhi : \u092e\u0947\u0930\u093e \u0926\u095e\u094d\u0924\u0930 \u0926\u093f\u0932\u094d\u0932\u0940\u00a0\u092e\u0947\u0902<\/strong> \u0939\u0948<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The common word in all these sentences is \u092e\u0947\u0902. <\/strong>If you guessed that the word “in” in English correlates to \u092e\u0947\u0902, <\/strong>then you’re right! \u092e\u0947\u0902 <\/strong>is the postposition that indicates that “college” (\u0915\u093e\u0932\u0947\u091c<\/strong>), car (\u0917\u093e\u0921\u093c\u0940<\/strong>), and Delhi (\u0926\u093f\u0932\u094d\u0932\u0940<\/strong>) will be in the locative.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The locative case marks the position or location of objects : Here are some sample sentences : She sat on the horse : \u0935\u0939\u00a0\u0918\u094b\u095c\u0947\u00a0\u092a\u0930\u00a0\u092c\u0948\u0920\u0940 The paper is on the table : \u0915\u093e\u0917\u091c\u093c\u00a0\u092e\u0947\u095b\u00a0\u092a\u0930 \u0939\u0948 My clothes are on the roof : \u092e\u0947\u0930\u0947\u00a0\u0915\u092a\u0921\u093c\u0947 \u091b\u0924 \u092a\u0930 \u0939\u0948\u0902 The common word in all these sentences is \u092a\u0930.
