Questions & Answers about Me jäämme uuteen baariin Espanjassa.
Why does it say uuteen baariin (into a new bar) if the English translation says we stay in it?
In Finnish, the verb jäädä (to stay or remain) requires the destination case (illative). Finns think of staying as an action directed into a place. That is why we use the "into" ending for baariin instead of the "in" ending (baarissa).
How does the adjective uusi (new) change to uuteen?
Adjectives must match the case of the noun they describe. Because the noun is in the illative case (baariin), the adjective must be too. For old Finnish words ending in -si like uusi, the -si changes to -te- before adding the case ending, making it uuteen.
If we are staying into the bar, why is Spain just Espanjassa (in Spain)?
The verb jäädä directly affects the specific place you are staying at, which is the bar, so it takes the "into" case (uuteen baariin). Spain is just the general background location where this event happens, so it keeps the standard "in" ending (-ssa).
