8.3 – v vs. na for location, do vs. na for destination

Handy chart for learning which preposition to use:

if you use this preposition for location

then use this preposition for destination

v LOC

→

do GEN

na LOC

→

na ACC

What this chart says is that if you would normally use v LOC to say ‘in, at’ a place, then use do  GEN to say ‘to’.

Likewise, if you would use na  LOC to say ‘on, at’ a place, then still use na  ACC  to say ‘to’ (i.e. the difference between ‘on, at’ and ‘to’ with the preposition na stems from what case follows the preposition).
