Questions & Answers about Täällä voi kokeilla, mikä visuaalinen tyyli on paras.
Why does the sentence start with Täällä instead of a subject, and who is doing the trying?
This is a generic zero person sentence, which Finnish uses to say one can or you can generally. It uses the 3rd person singular verb voi with no subject. Because Finnish naturally structures sentences starting with the Theme (the context or setting), a generic sentence heavily relies on fronting a location or time word like Täällä to give the sentence a starting point.
How does the Theme vs. Rheme principle apply to the subordinate clause (mikä visuaalinen tyyli on paras)?
It perfectly follows the standard progression from known information to new information. The phrase mikä visuaalinen tyyli acts as the Theme, establishing what we are talking about. The evaluation on paras is the Rheme, placing the most critical piece of new information at the very end of the sentence for emphasis.
Since we are asking which, could I use kumpi instead of mikä here?
Only if there are exactly two visual styles to choose from! Finnish makes a strict distinction: you must use kumpi for a choice between exactly two things, and mikä for a choice of three or more. Because this sentence uses mikä, we know there is a broader selection of styles available.
The verb kokeilla usually requires a partitive object. Why isn't there a partitive word here?
