0. Ranskan oikeusministeri ei eroa tapauksen takia.

The negative present tense in Finnish is formed using 'ei' + the verb in its basic form (1st infinitive). Here, 'ei eroa' means 'will not resign.' This structure is common for expressing negative actions in the present or future. For example, 'Hän ei syö' means 'He does not eat.'

1. Hän pyysi anteeksi epäillyn huonoa kohtelua.

The genitive case is used to show possession or relationships, such as 'epäillyn' (of the suspect). In this sentence, it indicates that the poor treatment belongs to or is related to the suspect. The genitive case often ends in '-n' for singular nouns. For example, 'miehen auto' means 'the man's car.'

4. Ranskassa on 70 000 lasten oikeustapausta kesken.

The inessive case ('-ssa') is used to indicate location inside something, such as 'Ranskassa' (in France). Here, it shows where the legal cases are pending. The inessive case is formed by adding '-ssa' or '-ssä' to the noun stem, depending on vowel harmony. For example, 'talossa' means 'in the house.'
