2. He ovat menossa lääkärille.
'Olla menossa' is a common Finnish construction meaning 'to be going (somewhere)'. It uses the verb 'olla' (to be) plus a noun in the inessive case form 'menossa' (literally 'in going'), expressing ongoing movement or intention to go.
4. He ovat menossa klinikalle.
'Klinikalle' uses the allative case (ending -lle) to express movement toward a place, meaning 'to the clinic'. The original 'kliinille' is not a standard Finnish word — the correct noun is 'klinikka', which takes the allative ending '-lle' after the stem: klinikka → klinikalle.
