0. BP ja Total haluavat hidastaa merituulivoimaa.
This sentence uses the 3rd person plural present tense of the verb 'haluta' (to want), which is 'haluavat.' In Finnish, verbs conjugate based on the subject's person and number. Here, the subject is plural ('BP ja Total'), so the verb ends in '-vat.' To use this structure, take the verb stem (e.g., 'halua-') and add the appropriate ending for the subject (e.g., '-n' for 'minÀ,' '-t' for 'sinÀ,' '-vat' for 'he').
1. He ostivat suuria alueita PohjanmereltÀ.
The sentence uses the elative case ('PohjanmereltÀ') to indicate location, specifically where the areas were bought ('from the North Sea'). The elative case is formed by adding '-ltÀ' to the word stem and is used to express movement away from a surface or area. For example, 'pöydÀltÀ' means 'from the table.' This case is essential for describing where actions like buying or taking place.
6. He haluavat rakentaa vÀhemmÀn tuulivoimaa.
This sentence features the partitive case ('tuulivoimaa') to indicate an unspecified or partial amount of wind power. The partitive case is often used with quantities, such as 'vÀhemmÀn' (less), to show that the action affects only part of the object. To form the partitive, add '-a/-À' or '-ta/-tÀ' to the word stem, depending on vowel harmony. For example, 'maitoa' (milk) or 'leipÀÀ' (bread).
