0. EZB nostaa ohjauskorkoa.
This sentence uses the present tense to describe an ongoing action. In Finnish, the present tense is formed by adding personal endings to the verb stem. Here, 'nostaa' is the basic form (infinitive), and 'nostaa' (with the same spelling) is used for the third person singular/plural. This structure is common for stating facts or current events. To use it, take a verb like 'syödä' (to eat) and say 'Hän syö' (He/She eats).
2. Nousu johtuu inflaatiosta.
This sentence uses the elative case ('-sta/-stä') to indicate the cause of something. The elative case answers the question 'mistä?' (from what?). Here, 'inflaatiosta' means 'from inflation' or 'due to inflation.' To use this, take a noun like 'sää' (weather) and say 'Se johtuu säästä' (It is due to the weather). This is a useful structure for explaining reasons.
5. EZB haluaa, että inflaatio on kaksi prosenttia.
This sentence introduces a subordinate clause with 'että' (that). The clause 'inflaatio on kaksi prosenttia' describes what the ECB wants. In Finnish, 'että' is used to connect two ideas where one depends on the other. For example, 'Hän sanoo, että hän tulee' (He says that he is coming). This structure helps in expressing desires, thoughts, or statements.
