6. Locative case with nouns

As its English name (as well as Polish name- Miejscownik) suggests, this grammatical case has to do with location. It answers the questions: „o kim?”- ‘about who?’ and „o czym?”- ‘about what?’ (…am I speaking? …am I thinking? …am I talking?).

We use Locative mainly with these prepositions:

1. O (about) – Myślę o Adamie. (‘I am thinking about Adam.’)

2. Na (on) – Czekolada jest na stole. (‘The chocolate is on the table.’)

3. W (in) – Jestem w samochodzie. (‘I am in the car.’)

4. Po (after) – Spotykamy się po kolacji. (‘We meet after supper.’)

5. Przy (near, next to) – Kurtka jest przy ścianie. (‘The coat is next to a wall.’) Mieszkam przy parku. (‘I live near a park.’)
