The verb 'pÀÀstÀ' (to get out) is used here in the past tense ('pÀÀsi'). In Finnish, the past tense is often formed by adding '-i' to the verb stem. This sentence shows how to describe a completed action in the past. For example, 'HÀn pÀÀsi kotiin' means 'He got home.'
2. Thaksin on 76-vuotias miljardööri.
The word 'vuotias' is used to express age in Finnish. It is an adjective formed from the number and '-vuotias.' For example, 'kolmevuotias' means 'three-year-old.' This structure is always used with the verb 'olla' (to be), e.g., 'HĂ€n on 10-vuotias' means 'He is 10 years old.'
3. HÀnellÀ on punapaitaisia kannattajia.
The phrase 'HÀnellÀ on' (He has) is a common way to express possession in Finnish. It uses the adessive case ('-llÀ') for the possessor. For example, 'Minulla on kirja' means 'I have a book.' This structure is essential for describing what someone owns or has.
