prepositions of place — and the case they take
On the table, under the chair, in front of the house — little place words that pin everything down. The twist: some take the locative, others the instrumental. Pick the right preposition, then drill. About six minutes.

Slovene place prepositions fall into two camps by the case they govern. v (in), na (on/at), pri (by/at) take the locative (lesson 4): na mizi, v sobi. The 'around it' group — pod (under), nad (above), pred (in front of), za (behind), med (between) — take the instrumental (lesson 5): pod mizo, za hišo. Notice the noun ending changes with the case, which is your clue.
