1. Saaren nimi on Bendor.

This sentence uses the genitive case ('saaren') to indicate possession. In Finnish, the genitive case is often used to show that something belongs to someone or something else. Here, it tells us that the name belongs to the island. To form the genitive, you usually add '-n' to the end of the word. For example, 'poika' (boy) becomes 'pojan' (boy's) in the genitive case.

6. Jokaisessa huoneessa on merinäköala.

This sentence uses the inessive case ('huoneessa') to indicate location inside something. The inessive case answers the question 'where?' and is formed by adding '-ssa' or '-ssä' to the word stem, depending on vowel harmony. Here, it tells us that the sea view is inside the room. For example, 'koulu' (school) becomes 'koulussa' (in the school) in the inessive case.
