0. TikTokissa katsotaan paljon Tagesschaun videoita.

This sentence uses the passive present tense ('katsotaan'), which is common in Finnish to describe general actions without specifying who performs them. Here, it emphasizes the action of watching rather than the watcher. In Finnish, the passive is often used where English might use 'one' or 'people' (e.g., 'people watch'). To form the passive present, take the stem of the verb (e.g., 'katso-' from 'katsoa') and add '-taan' or '-tään' depending on vowel harmony.

1. Kesäkuussa Tagesschau nousi suosituksi TikTokissa.

The sentence uses the inessive case ('TikTokissa') to indicate location, meaning 'in TikTok.' The inessive case is formed by adding '-ssa' or '-ssä' to the word stem. This case is used to describe where something happens or exists. For example, 'koulussa' means 'at school.' Remember to check vowel harmony when adding the ending.

6. Tagesschau kertoo uutisista ja tapahtumista.

This sentence uses the elative case ('uutisista' and 'tapahtumista') to indicate 'about' or 'from' something. The elative case is formed by adding '-sta' or '-stä' to the word stem. It is often used with verbs like 'kertoa' (to tell) to describe the topic of discussion. For example, 'Hän kertoo matkasta' means 'She tells about the trip.'
