0. Ranskassa tutkitaan rasistista vihaa Kylian Mbappéa kohtaan.

This sentence uses the passive form 'tutkitaan' (is investigated). In Finnish, the passive is often used to describe general actions without specifying who performs them. Here, it emphasizes the action rather than the doer. To form the passive, take the verb stem (tutki-) and add the passive ending '-taan/-tään' depending on vowel harmony. For example, 'syödä' (to eat) becomes 'syödään' (is eaten).

2. Ranskan jalkapalloliitto teki valituksen asiasta.

The word 'valituksen' is in the accusative case, which is used for the direct object of a sentence. In Finnish, the accusative case often looks like the genitive (e.g., 'valitus' → 'valituksen'). Here, it indicates that the complaint is the thing being made. To use the accusative, identify the direct object and apply the genitive-like ending. For example, 'kirja' (book) becomes 'kirjan' in the accusative.

7. Ranska haluaa suojella urheilijoita vihapuheelta.

The verb 'haluaa' (wants) is followed by another verb in its basic form ('suojella'). In Finnish, when one verb follows another, the second verb remains in the infinitive. This structure is common for expressing desires or intentions. For example, 'Minä haluan syödä' (I want to eat). Always use the basic form of the second verb after verbs like 'haluta' (to want) or 'voida' (can).
