Prepositions of movement in Latvian grammar are used to denote the direction or destination of a movement. They indicate whether the action is going to, from, across, towards, or away from a particular place or object. Correct usage of these prepositions is essential to conveying your exact intent, making these prepositions an important part of Latvian language learning.
