This ending allows you to create new words that indicate a
place or location.
When added to a word that ends in an “-a”,
the “-a” usually changes into an “-v” though there are a few words
that the “-a” changes into an “-o” instead. Unless otherwise
instructed, you should change the “-a” into an “-v”.
☞ Make sure to always say the part before the final “-ɂi” with
a high rising tone, even if you drop the final “-ɂi” as part of
informal speech.

speakers might understand you as indicating “On.” or “In.” instead
of “Location.”.
