I cannot, for the life of me, find an answer for a simple question on any of the sites on which I study. I generally know when to use the nominative, accusative and partitive, except for the verb "to be." I at one point thought it would just be the nominative, ex. "Se on taulukko. It is a table" from skimming walls of finnish text, but I later read that the accusative may sometimes look like the nominative. I have no idea which case ending I should use with "olla" as the verb, and it seems so fundamental to everyday speech that I want to get it straight in my mind. >inb4 learn a useful language Finnish is wierd and fascinating, albeit useless.
