Questions & Answers about Varo jäätä ja mene sisään.
How do I form the imperative varo from the dictionary form varoa?
Varoa is a Type 1 verb. To get the imperative command form, just take the 'I' form (minä varon) and drop the -n. So, varon becomes varo.
How does the imperative mene work since mennä is a Type 3 verb?
It works exactly the same way as Type 1. Find the 'I' form, which is minä menen (I go), and drop the -n. This gives you the imperative mene (go!).
Why is the word for ice (jää) in the partitive form jäätä?
The verb varoa (to watch out for) is a partitive verb. This means the thing you are watching out for must always be in the partitive case.
Why is it sisään instead of sisällä for 'inside'?
Because there is movement. Sisällä means you are already located inside. Sisään means 'into the inside', which you must use here because the verb mene (go) involves moving into a new location.
