New concept

Three questions, three endings
English moves around with little words: in, out of, into. Finnish puts the movement into an ending — and for every place there are three questions:
| Question | Ending | Example | English |
|---|---|---|---|
| Missä? — where? | -ssa / -ssä | Olen kahvilassa. | I'm in the café. |
| Mistä? — where from? | -sta / -stä | Tulen kahvilasta. | I'm coming out of the café. |
| Mihin? — where to? | vowel + n | Menen kahvilaan. | I'm going into the café. |
You already know the first two: Olen Helsingissä, Olen Bostonista. These three are the inner cases — for being inside something: buildings, rooms, cities, countries.
The new one is the into ending, called the illative. Minne? means the same as mihin? — you'll hear both.
