1. Tutkijat analysoivat miljoonia kommentteja eri uutiskanavilla.

This sentence uses the partitive plural case ('kommentteja') for the object 'comments'. In Finnish, the partitive case is used when referring to an indefinite quantity or an ongoing action. Here, 'miljoonia kommentteja' means 'millions of comments', indicating an unspecified, large number. Learners can apply this by using the partitive plural for plural nouns when the exact number is unknown or unimportant.

3. Monet kommenteista tukivat Iranin hallitusta.

The sentence uses the elative case ('kommenteista') to indicate 'from the comments' or 'out of the comments'. The elative case is used to show movement or origin from within something. Here, it specifies that many (but not all) comments supported the government. Learners can practice this by using the elative case with the preposition '-sta/-stä' to describe 'from' or 'out of' something.

4. Kommentit tulivat eri tileistä samaan aikaan.

This sentence demonstrates the use of the ablative case ('tileiltä') to indicate 'from accounts'. The ablative case is used to show movement away from a surface or group. Here, it specifies the origin of the comments. Learners can use the ablative case with the preposition '-lta/-ltä' to describe 'from' a place or source.
