3. Hän on rikkaampi kuin ennen.
Comparatives in Finnish are formed by adding '-mpi' to the adjective stem: 'rikas' → 'rikkaampi' (richer). The comparison word 'kuin' means 'than', just like English. This pattern works for most adjectives: 'iso' (big) → 'isompi' (bigger).
7. Hän tekee kauppoja.
The object 'kauppoja' is in the partitive plural. In Finnish, when the action is ongoing or the object is indefinite/plural and not fully completed, the partitive case is used. 'Kauppa' (deal) becomes 'kauppoja' in the partitive plural. Notice the back vowel harmony: 'a' stays 'a' (not 'ä').
