luona f
luo + -na. The word uses the archaic locative case, which turned into the essive case. The locative is only in some fossilized expressions, such as this one and kotona.
luona [with genitive and/or possessive form]
- (locative) at ('s place), chez
- Synonym: tykönä
Yövyin Pekan luona.
- I spent the night at Pekka's (place).
Pekka yöpyi minun luonani.

Tapasimme aseman luona.

If the headword is a personal pronoun, luona takes a possessive suffix, and if it is a first-person or second-person pronoun, it can then be dropped (so that only the possessive suffix marks the person).
