''See Elative for disambiguation.''
'Elative' (from Latin ''efferre'' "to bring or carry out") is a locative case with the basic meaning "out of".
In Finnish elative is typically formed by adding "sta/stä", in Estonian by adding "st" to the genitive stem. In Hungarian the suffix "ból/ből" is used for elative.
"talosta" - "out of the house, from house" (Finnish "talo" = "house")

"majast" - "out of the house, from house" (Estonian "maja" = "house")

"házból" - "out of house" (Hungarian "haz" = "house")

In some dialects of Spoken Finnish it is common to drop the last vowel and thus the usage of elative resembles that of Estonian, for example ''"talost' ".''
Other locative cases are:

★ Inessive case ("in")

★ Illative case ("into")

★ Adessive case ("on")

★ Allative case ("onto")

★ Ablative case ("from off of")
