Questions & Answers about Anna varausnumero, jos haluat käyttää huonepalvelua.
Why is the object varausnumero instead of varausnumeron?
Because the verb anna is a command (imperative). When you give a command to do something to a total object, the object takes the basic nominative form instead of the usual -n ending.
Why is huonepalvelua in the partitive case?
The verb käyttää (to use) always requires its object to be in the partitive case. Therefore, the base word huonepalvelu (room service) takes the partitive ending -a.
Why does the verb antaa (to give) become anna here?
This is the imperative (command) form. For verb type 1, you find the command form by taking the "I" form (minä annan) and dropping the -n. The nt in antaa changes to nn because of consonant gradation.
How is the compound word varausnumero formed?
It combines varaus (reservation) and numero (number). The word varaus is a noun built directly from the verb varata (to reserve or book).
