0. BER Terminal 1 avattiin uudelleen torstaina.
The passive past tense is formed by adding the suffix -ttiin to the verb stem. You use this structure when the doer of the action is unknown, unimportant, or when stating general facts like news events. For example, you can apply this to other verbs by saying 'talo myytiin' (the house was sold) or 'kirje kirjoitettiin' (the letter was written).
3. Poliisi ei voinut sulkea uhkaa pois.
The partitive case is required for the object when the main verb is in the negative form. You use this because the action is not fully completed or is an abstract concept, which is exactly why 'uhka' becomes 'uhkaa' after 'ei voinut sulkea'. Whenever you make a sentence negative, remember to change the total object into the partitive form, like 'en näe koiraa' (I do not see the dog).
6. Lentoja oli viivästynyt.
The partitive case is used for the subject when the verb expresses an ongoing, incomplete, or plural existence, like 'oli viivästynyt'. You use this here because the delays affected an unspecified, plural amount of flights rather than a specific, fully defined set. Apply this rule to similar sentences by using the partitive for plural subjects with verbs like 'oli' or 'tuli', for example, 'ihmisiä oli paljon' (there were many people).
8. Normaali toiminta alkaa perjantaina.
The time suffix -na or -nä is added directly to days of the week to mean 'on [day]'. You use this specific ending instead of a separate preposition to indicate when an event happens on a specific day. You can easily apply this pattern to any day, such as 'maanantaina' (on Monday) or 'sunnuntaina' (on Sunday).
