0. Dubai maksaa asukkaille vieraanvaraisuusrahaa.

This sentence uses the allative case ('asukkaille') to indicate 'to whom' the action is directed. The allative case is formed by adding '-lle' to the noun stem and is used to express the recipient of an action. For example, 'Hän antaa lahjan ystävälle' (He gives a gift to a friend). This is a common structure for verbs like 'maksaa' (to pay) or 'antaa' (to give).

4. Dubai haluaa enemmän matkailijoita.

This sentence uses the partitive case ('matkailijoita') after the word 'enemmän' (more). The partitive case is used to express an indefinite quantity or an incomplete action. It is formed by adding '-a/-ä', '-ta/-tä', or '-tta/-ttä' to the noun stem. For example, 'Hän syö kalaa' (He is eating fish). This structure is essential for expressing quantities or desires in Finnish.

7. Raha auttaa matkailualaa Dubaissa.

This sentence uses the inessive case ('Dubaissa') to indicate location. The inessive case is formed by adding '-ssa/-ssä' to the noun stem and is used to describe where something is happening. For example, 'Hän on koulussa' (He is at school). This is a fundamental case for expressing location in Finnish.
