Illative

The Illative (illatiivi) case is part of the internal locative cases. It typically corresponds to the “into” preposition in English, and usually refers to a change or observation of “something going from outside to inside”. In Finnish it is indicated by the -Vn suffix, where the V is a vowel followed by an -n.
