0. PMOS on yleinen hormonihäiriö naisilla.

This sentence uses the verb 'olla' (to be) in the 3rd person singular present tense ('on'). In Finnish, 'olla' is used to describe states of being, such as 'is' or 'are' in English. Here, it connects the subject 'PMOS' with its description 'yleinen hormonihäiriö naisilla.' Learners can use this structure to describe things: [Subject] + 'on' + [description]. For example, 'Koira on musta' (The dog is black).

1. Se vaikuttaa noin joka kahdeksanteen naiseen.

The verb 'vaikuttaa' (to affect) is used here in the 3rd person singular present tense. Finnish verbs in the present tense often end in '-a/-ä' for this form. This sentence pattern is useful for describing effects or influences: [Subject] + [verb] + [object in illative case]. For example, 'Lääke vaikuttaa uneen' (The medicine affects sleep). The illative case ('naiseen') indicates direction or target, which is common when describing who or what is affected.

4. Oireita ovat epäsäännöllinen kierto ja akne.

This sentence uses the plural form of the verb 'olla' ('ovat') to list multiple items. The structure is [Plural subject] + 'ovat' + [list of items]. This is a common way to describe what something includes or consists of. For example, 'Hedelmiä ovat omena ja banaani' (Fruits are apple and banana). The plural form 'ovat' is used because the subject ('oireita') is plural.
