Locative: My understanding is it is used to define a place or
location. So
if you say "I went to Las Vegas" Las Vegas would be Locative. I dont
have
much experience with it but that is my understanding.

If I remember clearly, Locative is an archaic case (aren't all latin
cases archaic? ;) that was only used later in certain place names and
in set expressions (latin for "at home" IIRC).

However, the term "locative case" in my conlang implies something
different; it corresponds to English prepositions "on, in, at". Most
spatial "adpositions" (as I've heard prepositions+postpositions
called) take this case.

Imperative
