Editing Lative case (section)

==Finnish==
In Finnish, the lative case is largely obsolete. It still occurs in various [[adverbs]]: ''alas, alemmas,'' "down, further down", ''kauas,'' ''kauemmas'' "(moving) far away, farther away", ''pois'' "(going) away", and ''rannemmas'' "towards and closer to the shore" (derives from 'ranta' [shore]). The lative suffix is usually ''-s''.<ref name="PanuMäkinen--AdvCases">{{cite web|last1=Mäkinen|first1=Panu|title=Finnish Grammar - Adverbial Cases|url=http://users.jyu.fi/~pamakine/kieli/suomi/sijat/sijatadverbien.html|website=users.jyu.fi|publisher=University of Jyväskylä|accessdate=6 March 2015}}</ref>

In modern Finnish, it has been superseded by a more complicated system of locative cases and [[Clitic|enclitics]], and the original -s has merged with another lative or [[locative case|locative]] suffix and turned into the modern [[inessive case|inessive]], [[elative case|elative]], [[illative case|illative]] and [[translative case|translative]] suffixes.
