0. NASA:n Swift-teleskooppi putoaa maahan.
The verb "putoaa" takes the illative case "maahan" to show movement into or onto something. When you talk about falling or going to a place, you add the -hVn ending to the noun. You use this structure anytime you express direction towards a destination, like "menen kouluun".
1. Se palaa ilmakehässä.
The word "ilmakehässä" uses the inessive case ending -ssa to mean "inside the atmosphere". You add -ssa or -ssä to a noun when an action happens inside or within that place. Use this whenever you want to say something is located inside something else, like "olen kotona".
3. Se tutki gammasäteitä ja supernovia.
The objects of the verb "tutki" are in the partitive case, ending in -iä and -ia. You use the partitive case for objects when the action is ongoing, incomplete, or when the object is plural. Notice how both words take this partitive plural form because the telescope studied them generally.
4. Swift painoi 1452 kiloa.
The noun "kiloa" is in the partitive singular because it follows a number. When you express a quantity with a number, the noun that follows must be in the partitive singular form. You apply this rule to all numbers, so you say "kaksi kissaa" instead of "kaksi kissat".
5. Swift teki lähes 7000 havaintoa.
The word "havaintoa" is in the partitive singular after the number 7000. Even though the meaning is plural in English, Finnish grammar requires the partitive singular form after any number. You use this pattern every time you count things, like "sata euroa".
