Questions & Answers about Tämä pyörätie uudistettaisiin kesällä.
How is the conditional passive verb uudistettaisiin formed?
The dictionary form is uudistaa (to renew). A reliable trick to form the conditional passive is to take the past passive participle uudistettu (renewed) and replace the -tu ending with -taisiin. This gives you uudistettaisiin (would be renewed).
Why is the object tämä pyörätie in the basic nominative form instead of taking an object ending?
When a completely affected singular object is the target of a passive verb, it takes the basic nominative case (no ending) instead of the -n ending. If the sentence had an active subject like 'I would renew this bike path', you would need the -n ending and say tämän pyörätien.
Why does kesällä use the -llä ending here?
The adessive case (ending in -lla or -llä) is used to express 'in' or 'during' a certain season, time of day, or holiday. Because of this rule, kesä (summer) becomes kesällä (in the summer).
How does the verb uudistaa relate to the word for new?
The Finnish word for new is uusi, which has the stem uude-. Adding the suffix -staa creates a verb meaning to make something into that adjective. Therefore, uude- plus -staa becomes uudistaa, which literally means to make new or to renew.
