In the sense “to have” the verb olla is always in third person singular form and the person who has something is indicated with adessive case. Grammatically the thing owned is the subject-complement of the sentence: minulla on ― I have

sinulla on ― you have

hänellä on ― he/she has

sillä on ― it has

meillä on ― we have

teillä on ― you have

heillä on ― they have

Lassilla on ― Lassi has

kaupungin

terveyslautakunnalla on ― the municipal health board has Same applies through all tenses, infinitives and participles (where they make sense), e.g. minulla

olisi

ollut ― I would not have had

minulla

rupeaa

olemaan ― I am beginning to have The meaning "there be" is rarely used without adverbials (such as those describing a location); it is more common to use olla olemassa in such cases.

olla (+ vähällä) + infinitive = to almost/nearly (do something accidental, harmful, wrong or fateful).

Olin (vähällä) kaatua lattialle. ― I almost fell on the floor.

olla + essive plural form of an active present participle (-vina/-vinä) + possessive suffix = to be supposed to do, pretend to do, put on airs of doing, affect:

Mikä

tämä on olevinaan? (speaker belittling the object in front of her/him) ― What is this supposed to be?

Olit

olevinasi

niin

täydellinen. ― You pretended to be so damn perfect.

olla + fifth infinitive + possessive suffix by person = to be about to do (when something happens preventing it):

Olin

lähtemäisilläni

ulos, kun

puhelin

soi. ― I was about to go out when the phone rang.

olla

määrä (“to be to, to be due to”)

Se on määrä

sulkea

viiden

vuoden

sisällä. ― It is due to close within five years.

genitive + 3rd-pers. singular + pakko + infinitive = to must, have to, be forced to:

Minun on pakko

lähteä

nyt. ― I have to leave now.

genitive + olisi (conditional) parasta + infinitive = had better + infinitive:

olla + long first infinitive = to be to do something (often implying that one is resigning to fate)

Hän

lähtee, jos on lähteäkseen. ― He'll leave if he is (fated) to leave.

(interjection): olkoon menneeksi (“(okay,...) why not, go ahead, (colloquial) what the hell”)

olkoonkin(, että...) (“never mind (that...)”)

olla

kunnossa (“to be in shape; to be in order”)

If used without an adjective, olla kunnossa is a positive expression, and one might as well say olla
