0. Iso tuulivoimapuisto muuttuu uudestaan.
This sentence uses the present tense of the verb 'muuttua' (to change) in the 3rd person singular form 'muuttuu.' In Finnish, the present tense can often express ongoing actions, similar to the English present continuous. Here, it describes a current process. To use this structure, conjugate the verb according to the subject (e.g., 'minä muutun' = I change, 'hän muuttuu' = he/she changes).
3. Puistossa on nyt 215 pientä turbiinia.
The inessive case ('-ssa/-ssä') is used here to indicate location, meaning 'in' or 'inside.' In this sentence, 'puistossa' means 'in the farm.' The inessive case is formed by adding '-ssa' or '-ssä' to the noun stem, depending on vowel harmony. For example, 'koulu' (school) becomes 'koulussa' (in the school). This case is essential for describing where something is located.
4. Ne korvataan 124 isommalla turbiinilla.
This sentence uses the passive present tense ('korvataan'), which is common in Finnish to describe general actions without specifying the subject. It translates to 'they will be replaced' or 'are replaced.' The passive is formed by adding '-taan/-tään' to the verb stem. For example, 'syödä' (to eat) becomes 'syödään' (is eaten). This structure is useful for impersonal statements.
