0. Euroopan komissio varoittaa Albaniaa Trumpin perheen liittyvÀÀn projektiin.

The sentence uses the illative case (-Vn) in 'liittyvÀÀn projektiin' to indicate direction or relation ('about a project'). The illative case is often used after verbs like 'varoittaa' (to warn) to specify what the action concerns. For example, 'HÀn varoittaa vaarasta' (He warns about danger) uses the elative case, but when specifying a noun, the illative is used: 'HÀn varoittaa tÀstÀ projektista' (He warns about this project).

3. Albanian ympÀristöministeri sanoi, ettÀ rakennustyöt on keskeytetty.

This sentence uses the passive voice ('on keskeytetty') to describe an action without specifying the agent. In Finnish, the passive is often used in formal or impersonal contexts, such as news reports. The structure is formed with the passive participle (e.g., 'keskeytetty') and the auxiliary verb 'olla' (to be). For example, 'Rakennustyöt on aloitettu' (Construction work has been started).

7. Projekti uhkaa kahta suojelualuetta, Narta-laguunia ja Sazanin saarta.

The partitive case ('suojelualuetta') is used here to indicate an unspecified or partial quantity, often after numbers or words like 'kahta' (two). The partitive is also used with objects of certain verbs, such as 'uhata' (to threaten). For example, 'HĂ€n uhkaa minua' (He threatens me) uses the partitive for the object. This case is essential for expressing partial or indefinite quantities in Finnish.
