Places is the 31th skill (assuming read left to right) of the Czech language tree. This skill introduces Czech vocabulary for places and the locative case.

Grammar Notes[]

The locative case is used for a noun which is a location something is in or at. This could be a physical location, or abstract, such a topic of a discussion/story.

Nouns in the locative case always occur with a preposition:

na = on, sometimes in, at
v/ve = in, at
po = after
při = at
o = about, as in talking about, writing about
