na, na, z: at, onto, from

Some nouns take na instead of v: events (svadba, oslava, koncert, návšteva), many public places (pošta, stanica, zastávka, trh), and also chata and hora. The case then shows the meaning:

• na + locative = at (kde?): na pošte (at the post office)
• na + accusative = to (kam?): na poštu (to the post office)
• z/zo + genitive = from (odkiaľ?): z pošty (from the post office)

Feminine nouns in -a: locative -e, accusative -u, genitive -y (na chate, na chatu, z chaty). After c the endings are -i and -e: na stanici, zo stanice. Masculine nouns for things keep their basic form in the accusative: ideme na koncert, but sme na koncerte, na trhu.
