Inessive case is a locative grammatical case. The inessive carries the basic meaning of "in": "talo" (house)-> "talossa" meaning "in the house" (Finnish), "majas" - "in the house" (Estonian), "házban" (ház =house)- "in the house" (Hungarian).

In Finnish typically formed by adding "ssa/ss&auml", in Estonian - "s" to the genitive stem. In Hungarian suffix "ban/ben" is most commonly used for inessive, although many others, such as -on, -re, -en, and others are also used, especially with cities.

In the Finnish language, inessive is the first of the six locative cases which as their basic meaning correspond to locational (http://wiktionary.org/wiki/Locational) prepositions in English.

The other locative cases in Finnish are:
