Of course don't expect these to always make sense from the perspective of other languages. Jäädä jollekin/johonkin (Stay into/onto somewhere- what?!) comes to mind as an example. Then there are situations where things might end up being "in the table" (pöydässä) rather than on it.
Thank you for pointing that out. :) I have a small post about jäädä, and I could write something about the difference between koulussa/koululla, pöydässä/pöydällä, toimistossa/toimistolla etc.
Hei! Voisitko selittää, mitä eroa on "kaupungilla" ja "kaupungissa". Kiitos etukäteen!
