Duolingo is trying to introduce me to the partitive case tonight and i dont understand A THING.
why is the the adjective sometimes incountable when the noun is countable??
i think one of the sentences was 'Tämä mehu on oranssia'
im talking about a specific juice here, rigth? 'This juice' but why is it oranssia instead of oranssi? and why is it mehu instead of mehua? or am i in this scenatio pointing at a specific juice but am actually talking about the juice as a whole, like as a concept? like 'This [specific brand of] juice is orange'? 'This countable unit of a certain type of juice, is, in general, orange?'
i wish Duolingo actually explained grammar to the user :sob:... trying to figure this out for myself is hell
