1. Poliisi otti hepatiitti B -rokotteita talteen.
Use the partitive plural when the action affects an unspecified or partial amount of something, like confiscating or taking items. Here, "rokotteita" is in the partitive plural because the police took some of the vaccines, not necessarily every single one in existence. You can apply this to other verbs like "ostaa" (to buy) or "syödä" (to eat) when the quantity is open-ended.
2. Tutkijat ovat kiistanalaisia, koska he tutkivat afrikkalaisia vastasyntyneitä.
Adjectives must always match the noun they modify in both case and number. In this sentence, "afrikkalaisia" and "vastasyntyneitä" are both in the partitive plural because they are the object of the verb "tutkia". When you form a sentence with a partitive object, remember to add the partitive plural ending "-ia" or "-iä" to both the adjective and the noun.
6. Poliisi kertoi toiminnasta Facebookissa.
The verb "kertoa" (to tell or report) requires the elative case ("-sta"/"-stä") for the thing being reported about. Here, "toiminnasta" is in the elative case because the police reported about the operation. Whenever you want to say what someone told or reported about, attach the elative ending to the topic.
7. Tutkimus on ollut kiistanalainen jo pitkään.
Form the present perfect tense by combining the personal form of "olla" with the active past participle (the -nut/-nyt ending). You use this tense to describe an action or state that started in the past and continues into the present, often signaled by words like "jo pitkään" (for a long time). For example, you would say "olen asunut" (I have lived) to show you still live there now.
8. Rokotteet olivat kiistan keskipisteessä.
Use the inessive case ("-ssa"/"-ssä") to express being inside a physical or abstract location. The word "keskipiste" (center) takes the inessive ending to mean "at the center of" or "in the center of". You can use this same structure for other abstract locations, like "ongelman ytimessä" (at the core of the problem).
