0. Hallitus hyväksyi tuen liikenteelle ja maataloudelle torstaina.
The allative case ending -lle shows who or what receives something in a sentence. You use this case for the recipient of an action, like giving money to 'maataloudelle' or paying to 'pankkitileille'. Think of it as the equivalent of the English preposition 'to' when giving or sending something.
0. Hallitus hyväksyi tuen liikenteelle ja maataloudelle torstaina.
The imperfect tense describes completed actions that happened in the past. You form it by adding the -i- marker to the verb stem before the personal ending, so 'hyväksyä' becomes 'hyväksyi'. This is your main tool for narrating past events like news or daily routines.
1. Tukkuhinnat nousivat ja polttoaine on kallista.
The partitive case is used for the object when the verb action is incomplete or when you are talking about an unspecified amount of something. For example, 'polttoainetta' is in the partitive because fuel is a mass noun you cannot count. You also use the partitive singular after numbers like '60 miljoonaa euroa'.
8. Tukia maksetaan pankkitileille 30 päivän kuluessa.
The passive voice expresses an action when the doer is unknown, unimportant, or general. In news and official texts, you see this often to state facts without naming a specific person, like 'maksetaan'. You form it by taking the verb stem and adding the appropriate passive ending, such as -taan or -tään.
