Locative

The locative case is a special case which indicates a location used for cities.
Some general rules:

• -a (first declension) becomes -ae
• -us and -um (second declension) become -i

Nominative	Locative	English (loc.)
Roma	Romae	in Rome
Novum Eboracum	Novi Eboraci	in New York
Corinthus	Corinthi	in Corinth

Other locations will generally get a preposition (in + ablative, we will deal with the ablative later in the course).

Latin	English
in Italia	in Italy
in urbe	in the city

Domi (at home) is an exception!
