Questions & Answers about Aamulla ahkeroidaan, ja sitten varallisuus jaetaan tasapuolisesti.
Why is the verb ahkeroida in the passive here when it doesn't take an object?
In Finnish, you can use the passive with intransitive verbs (verbs that don't take an object) to express a collective action or a general state. Ahkeroidaan implies that people work hard or one works hard without specifying exactly who is doing it, which is very common in spoken and written Finnish.
Why is varallisuus in the nominative case instead of an object case?
It is the object of the passive verb jaetaan. A key rule to remember is that the total object of a passive verb does not take the genitive -n ending. Therefore, the singular object varallisuus takes the nominative form.
How is the verb ahkeroida related to the adjective ahkera?
The verb ahkeroida is formed by adding the suffix -oida to the adjective ahkera (diligent, hard-working). This suffix is commonly used to turn adjectives or nouns into verbs meaning to act as that adjective or to spend time doing something related to it.
What are the parts that make up the adverb tasapuolisesti?
It is an adverb formed with the -sti suffix. The root adjective is tasapuolinen (impartial or fair), which is a compound of tasa (even, flat) and puoli (side). Literally, it translates to even-sidedly.
