0. Tutkijat löysivät Ugandasta kissanminttuöljyä, joka toimii kuten DEET.
The sentence uses the elative case ('Ugandasta') to indicate 'from where' something was found. The elative case is formed by adding '-sta/-stä' to the stem of the place name. This is a common way to express origin or source in Finnish. For example, 'Hän tulee koulusta' (He comes from school).
2. Kissanmintussa on ainetta, joka karkottaa hyttysiä.
The partitive case ('ainetta') is used here to indicate an unspecified amount of a substance. The partitive is often used after the verb 'olla' (to be) when referring to an uncountable or indefinite quantity. For example, 'Lasissa on vettä' (There is water in the glass).
5. Tutkimus tehtiin Ugandassa, missä hyttysiä on paljon.
The inessive case ('Ugandassa') is used to indicate location, meaning 'in Uganda.' The inessive is formed by adding '-ssa/-ssä' to the stem. This case is commonly used to describe where something happens. For example, 'Hän asuu Suomessa' (He lives in Finland). The relative pronoun 'missä' is also used here to mean 'where.'
