0. Israel ja Iran sopivat tulitauosta.

This sentence uses the verb 'sopia' (to agree) in the 3rd person plural past tense ('sopivat'). In Finnish, the past tense is often formed by adding '-i-' to the verb stem. Here, it indicates that the action (agreeing) happened in the past. Learners can use this structure to describe completed actions, e.g., 'He sopivat tapaamisesta' (They agreed on a meeting).

3. Israelin koulut avautuvat taas tiistaina.

The verb 'avautua' (to open) is used here in the 3rd person plural present tense ('avautuvat'). Finnish present tense often ends in '-vat' or '-vät' for plural subjects. This structure is used to describe habitual or future actions, e.g., 'Kaupat avautuvat aamulla' (The shops open in the morning). It’s a simple way to talk about schedules or routines.

5. Israel pysäytti kolme Libanosta tullutta ammusta.

The sentence uses the partitive plural form of 'ammus' ('ammusta') to indicate an unspecified quantity of missiles. The partitive case is often used after numbers or to describe partial or indefinite amounts. For example, 'Hän söi kolme omenaa' (He ate three apples) uses the partitive plural 'omenaa'. This is a key structure for talking about quantities in Finnish.
