0. LÀmpötila on 23 astetta New Yorkissa ja Bostonissa.

The partitive singular marks the unit of measurement when it follows a number greater than one. You see this here because 23 is greater than one, so aste becomes astetta. You will always use the partitive singular for units like hours, degrees, or kilos after numbers.

1. Se on 7-10 astetta normaalia lÀmpimÀmpÀÀ.

The partitive of comparison shows the standard against which something is measured. Here, normaali becomes normaalia to show what the temperature is being compared against. You can apply this pattern anytime you want to say something is more or less than something else.

6. Floridassa, Oklahomassa ja Coloradossa on myrskyjÀ.

The partitive plural marks an unspecified plural subject in an existential sentence. You use myrskyjÀ instead of myrskyt because you are stating that storms exist in those locations, not referring to specific, known storms. Apply this structure whenever you want to say there are plural things in a location.

8. Tornado osui Oklahomaan.

The illative case expresses movement into or towards a destination. The verb osua requires a target, so Oklahoma takes the illative ending -an to become Oklahomaan. You will use this same case ending with verbs like mennÀ or tulla to show where someone or something is going.
