pri + Locative

At Someone's Place

Level 2

Pri takes the locative and can mean at someone's place, by or during an activity.

How It Works

Pri takes the locative and can mean at someone's place, by or during an activity. It does not express movement toward that person; k or h with the dative does that.

Pri prijatelju answers where; k prijatelju answers where to. The identical ending in this noun does not mean pri and k govern the same case. Pri delu extends the location idea to an activity or situation.
