0. Viisi EU-maata haluaa uusia säännöt.
This sentence uses the **nominative plural** form of nouns, such as *EU-maata* (EU countries) and *säännöt* (rules). In Finnish, the subject of a sentence is often in the nominative case. Here, the plural form is used because the subject refers to multiple countries. Learners can practice this by forming simple sentences like *Lapset haluavat karkkia* (Children want candy).
2. Uudet säännöt suojaavat demokratiaa EU-maissa.
The sentence demonstrates the **inessive case** (*-ssa/-ssä*), used here in *EU-maissa* (in EU countries). The inessive case indicates location inside something. For example, *Hän on koulussa* (He/she is at school). Learners can use this case to describe where something happens, like *Kirja on pöydässä* (The book is on the table).
6. Hän rikkoi demokratian sääntöjä.
This sentence uses the **partitive plural** form (*sääntöjä*), which is common when referring to an unspecified or partial quantity of something. The partitive case is often used with objects of transitive verbs, especially in negative sentences or when the action is ongoing. For example, *Syön omenoita* (I am eating apples). Learners can practice this by using plural nouns with verbs like *rakastaa* (to love) or *ostaa* (to buy).
