0. Saksa haluaa vahvistaa ilmailualaa uudella strategialla.

Learners can use this structure to describe how something is done, e.g., 'Hän kirjoitti kirjeen kynällä' (He wrote the letter with a pen).

5. Hallitus aikoo vähentää ilmailuveroa heinäkuussa 2026.

The sentence uses the partitive case ('ilmailuveroa') after the verb 'vähentää' (to reduce), which often governs the partitive case when referring to an incomplete or ongoing action. The partitive case is formed by adding '-a/-ä' or '-ta/-tä' to the noun stem. Here, it indicates that the government plans to reduce *the aviation tax* (not necessarily all of it). Learners can apply this when using verbs like 'syödä' (to eat), 'juoda' (to drink), or 'ostaa' (to buy).

7. Merz lupasi 500 miljoonan euron kustannushelpotuksia ilmailulle.
