Concept · Objektin sijaiset määrän adverbiaalit
A phrase that says how long, how far or how many times takes the same forms as an object. One whole unit takes -n: ostin kirjan, so odotin tunnin, juoksin kilometrin, kävin siellä kerran. A number takes the partitive after it: kolme kirjaa, so kolme tuntia. Koko counts as one whole: koko päivän. And a negative turns it partitive, as it does an object: en odottanut tuntiakaan, not even an hour.
