2. Nainen kuoli hantavirukseen, ja häntä hoidettiin Johannesburgissa.
In Finnish, the cause of death is expressed using the illative case (-Vn). Here, 'hantavirukseen' shows that the woman died *of* hantavirus. This case is used to indicate movement into something or a change of state. For example, 'hän rakastui minuun' (he fell in love with me). Learners can practice this by describing causes or reasons, e.g., 'hän sairastui flunssaan' (he got sick with the flu).
3. Terveysviranomaiset ottavat yhteyttä kaikkiin lentokoneen matkustajiin.
The plural illative case (-iin) is used here with 'kaikkiin' (all) to indicate the group being contacted. The illative case often answers the question 'to whom?' or 'into what?'. In this sentence, it shows that the authorities are contacting *all* passengers. For example, 'hän kirjoitti kirjeen ystäviinsä' (he wrote a letter to his friends). Learners can use this structure to describe actions directed at groups, e.g., 'opettaja puhui oppilaisiin' (the teacher spoke to the students).
6. Ihmiset pannaan eristykseen laivan saavuttua.
The passive present tense ('pannaan') is used here to describe an action without specifying the agent. It is common in instructions, general statements, or news headlines. The structure is formed by adding the passive ending (-Vn) to the verb stem. For example, 'täällä puhutaan suomea' (Finnish is spoken here). Learners can use this to describe general actions, e.g., 'täällä syödään kalaa' (fish is eaten here). The temporal construction 'laivan saavuttua' (upon the ship's arrival) uses the third infinitive in the illative case to show when the action happens.
