    Overview of the Locative Case

    The locative case (miejscownik) in Polish is used mainly after certain prepositions to indicate location, often meaning "in" or "at" a specific place. It’s commonly used with prepositions like w (in), na (on), and o (about).

    Quick Rule:

    For most nouns, the locative case changes the ending, often by adding -e, -u, or -ie. Let's look at how this applies to some city names.

    Examples of the Locative Case with City Names:
    • In Warsaw → w Warszawie
    • In Cracow → w Krakowie
    • In Gdańsk → w Gdańsku
    • In Lębork → w Lęborku

    Notice that city names like Warszawa and Kraków change to Warszawie and Krakowie in the locative case. This follows typical locative patterns: "-a" endings often become "-ie," and "-ów" endings often shift to "-owie."
