What is the "inessive case"?

The inessive case is a grammatical case used to indicate location within or inside something. It expresses the idea of "in" or "inside" in relation to a noun. This case is found in languages such as Finnish and Estonian, where it modifies nouns to show where something is situated. For example, in Finnish, the word for "house" is "talo," and in the inessive case, it becomes "talossa," meaning "in the house." The inessive case helps clarify the position of an object or subject within a specific location in a sentence.
