0. Ranskan meppi Christophe Grudler sanoo EU:n uuden lain olevan liian laaja.

This sentence uses the genitive case ('EU:n') to show possession, indicating that the law belongs to the EU. The genitive case is commonly used after nouns to show ownership or close association. For example, 'opettajan kirja' (the teacher's book). Here, it connects 'EU' to 'uusi laki' (new law). Learners can practice this by describing objects or concepts that belong to someone or something.

1. Hän johtaa EU-parlamentissa uutta 'Made in Europe' -lakia.

The sentence uses the partitive case ('uutta lakia') after the verb 'johtaa' (to lead). The partitive case is often used with verbs to indicate an ongoing or partial action, especially with objects that are not fully affected. For example, 'Syön kalaa' (I am eating fish). Here, it shows that he is leading the process of the law, not necessarily completing it. Learners should use the partitive case with verbs that describe actions without a clear endpoint.

6. Laki koskee EU:n markkinoita ja kilpailua.

The verb 'koskea' (to concern, to apply to) is used with the partitive case ('markkinoita ja kilpailua'). This verb pattern indicates what is affected or included by the subject. For example, 'Tämä sääntö koskee kaikkia' (This rule applies to everyone). Learners can use this structure to describe rules, laws, or guidelines and what they affect.
