1. HĂ€n sai 3,5 vuotta vankeutta.
Use the partitive case for the noun after a decimal number or any number greater than one. You apply the partitive ending -a or -Ă€ to the noun, so 'vuosi' becomes 'vuotta' in '3,5 vuotta'. This rule applies to all quantities larger than one, like 'kolme vuotta'.
3. HeidÀn pitÀÀ maksaa 1,9 miljoonaa euroa korvauksia.
Use the genitive form of the pronoun with the verb 'pitÀÀ' to express necessity or obligation. You form this by putting the subject in the genitive, like 'heidÀn', followed by 'pitÀÀ' and the base form of the main verb. Apply this pattern whenever you need to say that someone must do something.
4. Kapteeni kiistÀÀ syytteen.
Verbs like 'kiistÀÀ' (to deny) and 'tarkistaa' (to check) take a genitive object instead of the partitive. You use the genitive ending -n for the object here, changing 'syyte' to 'syytteen'. Memorize these specific verbs, as they break the general partitive object rule for ongoing actions.
6. Alus oli Saint VincentistÀ.
Use the elative case ending -sta or -stÀ to express where someone or something is coming from. You add this ending directly to the place name to show origin, like 'Pietarista' for 'from Saint Petersburg'. Apply this whenever you need to state where a person or vehicle originates.
7. Alus oli matkalla Pietarista Haifaan.
Use the adessive case ending -lla or -llÀ to express being on a journey or at a specific location. You attach this ending to the noun 'matka' to create 'matkalla', meaning 'on a journey'. You can use this same structure with other location words, like 'kotona' (at home).
