0. Toyota menettää kolme miljardia puntaa Iranin sodan takia.
The phrase 'sodan takia' uses the genitive case ('sodan') followed by 'takia' to express 'because of'. This is a common way to indicate cause in Finnish. For example, 'Sateen takia en mene ulos' means 'Because of the rain, I won’t go out.' Learners can use this structure to explain reasons for actions or events.
1. Sodan takia osien hinnat nousevat paljon.
The verb 'nousevat' is in the 3rd person plural present tense, agreeing with the plural subject 'hinnat' (prices). In Finnish, verbs conjugate based on the subject’s number and person. For example, 'Hän nousee' (He/she rises) vs. 'He nousevat' (They rise). This pattern applies to all present tense verbs.
4. Sota vaikuttaa autojen osien hintoihin.
The word 'hintoihin' is in the illative plural case, which is used to indicate movement into something (here, the effect is 'into' the prices). The illative case often answers the question 'into what?' For example, 'Laitan kirjan laukkuun' means 'I put the book into the bag.' This case is essential for describing directions or effects.
