0. Trump sanoo, että Iranin sopimus on lähellä.
This sentence uses the present tense ('sanoo') to describe a current statement. Finnish often uses the present tense where English might use the present continuous. The clause 'että Iranin sopimus on lähellä' is a subordinate clause introduced by 'että' (that), which is common in reported speech. Learners can practice this pattern by forming sentences like 'Hän sanoo, että...' (He/she says that...).
1. Trump puhuu Iranin kanssa uusista neuvotteluista.
The verb 'puhua' (to talk) is used with the postposition 'kanssa' (with) to indicate the person or entity one is talking to. The noun 'neuvottelut' (negotiations) is in the elative case ('neuvotteluista') after 'uusi' (new), meaning 'about new negotiations.' This structure is useful for learners to describe interactions, e.g., 'Puhun ystävän kanssa' (I talk with a friend).
2. Trump ei halua pommittaa Irania.
This sentence uses the negative form of the verb 'haluta' (to want) with the infinitive 'pommittaa' (to bomb). In Finnish, negation is formed with 'ei' + the verb stem (e.g., 'halua' instead of 'haluaa'). The object 'Irania' is in the partitive case, which is common for objects in negative sentences. Learners can practice this by forming negative sentences like 'En halua syödä' (I don’t want to eat).
