oloista
Does anyone know why this is in the partitive? Hauskalainen 10:02, 9 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Oloista kahvia: this is the object and an object can be either in partitive or accusative (genitive or nominative). Partitive is used for unspecified amounts of something, in this case, just coffee in general. Oloisen kahvin would be used for a cup of coffee. Althoug in Finnish, this is a very good summary of object cases in Finnish, and here is one that is more concise. -130.232.129.242 20:31, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
