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).
