The allative case is primarily found in the Finnish, Basque, and Eskimo languages, marking motion towards the noun it is marking. The English prepositional equivalents are "to" and "towards". It is synonymous with the "aditive" case.
An example is the Finnish word "veneelle", meaning "to the boat".
