0. Kaksi venäläistä miestä on Angolassa vankilassa.
The inessive case (-ssa/-ssä) is used to indicate location inside something. Here, 'vankilassa' means 'in prison,' showing where the men are. To use this case, add -ssa to words ending in a vowel (e.g., 'koulu' → 'koulussa') or -ssä to words ending in a consonant (e.g., 'Suomi' → 'Suomessa'). This is a fundamental way to describe where something is.
2. He saivat tuomioiksi 8 ja 11 vuotta.
The translative case (-ksi) is used to indicate a change or result, such as receiving a sentence. Here, 'tuomioiksi' means 'as sentences,' showing what the men received. To form this, add -ksi to the word stem (e.g., 'raha' → 'rahaksi'). This case is useful for describing outcomes, like 'Hänestä tuli opettaja' ('He became a teacher').
5. Mielenosoitukset liittyivät öljyn hintoihin.
The illative case (-Vn, where V is a vowel) is used to indicate direction or relation, such as 'about' or 'into.' Here, 'hintoihin' means 'to prices' or 'about prices.' For words ending in a vowel, add -n (e.g., 'katu' → 'kadulle'), and for words ending in a consonant, add -Vn (e.g., 'talo' → 'taloon'). This case helps describe what something is related to or where it is going.
