0. NATO-jäsenet lupasivat puolustaa toisiaan Ankaran kokouksessa.
The sentence uses the partitive case ('toisiaan') to indicate a reciprocal action. In Finnish, when expressing mutual actions (e.g., 'each other'), the partitive case is used. For example, 'puolustaa toisiaan' means 'to defend each other.' Learners can apply this by using the partitive form of pronouns like 'toinen' (other) in similar contexts, such as 'auttaa toisiaan' (to help each other).
3. Trump vaati myös Grönlantia itselleen, vaikka se kuuluu Tanskalle.
This sentence demonstrates the use of the allative case ('Tanskalle') to indicate possession or belonging. The allative case is used with verbs like 'kuulua' (to belong) to show who or what something belongs to. For example, 'Tämä kirja kuuluu minulle' means 'This book belongs to me.' Learners can practice this by using the allative case with verbs of possession or affiliation.
5. Trump sanoi kokouksen olleen täynnä rakkautta ja sopua.
The sentence uses the past participle ('olleen') in the essive case to describe a temporary state. The structure 'olla + past participle' is common in Finnish to express what something was like at a specific time. For example, 'Hän oli väsynyt' means 'He was tired.' Learners can use this pattern to describe states or conditions in the past, such as 'Hän oli onnellinen' (He was happy).
