Questions & Answers about Edistääkö oppivelvollisuus tasa-arvoista koulutusta?
Why is the object tasa-arvoista koulutusta in the partitive case?
The verb edistää (to promote or advance) is an irresultative verb. Because you can promote something continuously without a finalized endpoint where the action is completely finished, its object is always in the partitive case.
How would I use the pronoun bridge from this lesson if I wanted to say: Does compulsory education promote that people get equal education?
Because the verb edistää requires a partitive object, you must use the partitive pronoun sitä to bridge to the että clause. You would say: Edistääkö oppivelvollisuus sitä, että ihmiset saavat tasa-arvoista koulutusta?
What are the components of the compound word oppivelvollisuus?
It is made of oppi (learning, doctrine, or study) and velvollisuus (obligation or duty). In Finland, this specific term refers to compulsory education, meaning the legal duty of children to receive a basic education.
How is the adjective tasa-arvoista formed?
The base form is tasa-arvoinen (equal). It combines tasa (even or flat) with arvo (value or worth) and the common adjective suffix -inen. Because words ending in -inen change to -ista in the partitive case, it becomes tasa-arvoista to match the partitive noun koulutusta.
