Prepositiot + partitiivi

Some prepositions always take the partitiivi following them. Some of them are

monta

pari

vähän

puoli

paljon

ennen

NOTE: The difference between monta and paljon is that paljon can occur with both ainesanat and other words, whereas monta can never occur with ainesanat. So you can say paljon ruokaa (ruoka = ainesana) and paljon omenoita, but you cannot say monta ruokaa, only monta omenaa, which is the same as paljon omenoita. So monta + partitive singular is the same as paljon + partitive plural
