==Finnish== For the [[Finnish language]] (a Uralic language), the allative is the fifth of the locative [[declension|cases]], with the basic meaning of "onto". Its ending is ''-lle'', for example ''pöytä'' (table) and ''pöydälle'' (onto the top of the table). In addition, it is the logical complement of the [[adessive case]] for referring to "being around the place". For example, ''koululle'' means "to the vicinity of the school". With time, the use is the same: ''ruokatunti'' (lunch break) and ''... lähti ruokatunnille'' ("... left to the lunch break"). Some actions require the case, e.g. ''kävely'' - ''mennä kävelylle'' "a walk - go for a walk". It also means "to" or "for", for example ''minä'' (me) and ''minulle'' (to/for me). The other locative cases in Finnish and [[Estonian language|Estonian]] are these: *[[Inessive case]] ("in") *[[Elative case]] ("out of") *[[Illative case]] ("into") *[[Adessive case]] ("on") *[[Ablative case]] ("from off")
