*Note:

4:02: Terlinguae adsumus │ We are in Terlingua

Vincent is using the locative case; Terlingua is the name of a town and, in Latin, when you are in a specific named town / city, the preposition in + ablative is not used:

In oppidulō sum │I am in a little town (but the town isn’t named)

Oppidulum Terlingua vocātur │ The little town is called Terlingua

Terlinguae adsumus │We are in Terlingua (no preposition)

A post was published some time back on this topic:

The locative case is not an additional case that has to be studied in depth; its use is confined to the names of towns, cities and small islands, and to a handful of other nouns

1st declension nouns:

• Rōma > Rōmae │ in Rome (no preposition)

2nd declension nouns:

• Brundisium > Brundisiī │ in Brundisium

3rd declension nouns:

• Carthāgō > Carthāgine / Carthāginī │ in Carthage

Some Latin town names are plural:

1st declension

• Athēnae > Athēnīs: in Athens

2nd declension

• Pompeiī > Pompeiīs: in Pompeii

The nouns you will come across which have a locative case are:

• domus (house) > domī: at home
• rūs (countryside) > rūrī: in the countryside
• humus (ground) > humī: on the ground

The Latin Tutorial video on the locative case is here:

However, unusually for these videos (because I regularly use them), the presenter tends to ramble a little at the beginning – and he goes on to other points that are not specifically related to what is being discussed here, and so I’ve uploaded an edited version.
