0. Terveystietoja myytiin Kiinassa Alibabassa.
The passive past tense ('myytiin') is used here to describe an action without specifying who performed it. In Finnish, the passive is often used in news headlines or formal reports. To form the passive past, take the passive present stem (e.g., 'myydä' → 'myy-') and add '-tiin'. This structure is common in A1-level texts to describe general events.
3. 500 000 vapaaehtoista antoi tietoja UK Biobankille.
The partitive case ('tietoja') is used here because 'tieto' (information) is an uncountable noun, and the sentence describes an incomplete or ongoing action (giving some data). The partitive case is often used with verbs like 'antaa' (to give) when the object is not fully affected. To form the partitive, add '-a/-ä' or '-ta/-tä' to the noun stem.
8. Tiedot olivat turvassa, eikä kukaan ostanut niitä.
The inessive case ('turvassa') is used to indicate location or state, meaning 'in safety'. The inessive is formed by adding '-ssa/-ssä' to the noun stem. This case is common in A1-level texts to describe where something is or how it exists. For example, 'koulussa' (at school) or 'kotona' (at home).
