Back to “always carry” in Finnish
It is something of an artificial construct.
The adverb «aina» (“always”) would typically go after the verb in Finnish but it is very awkward or ungrammatical in certain situations.
From Google AI:
Ilmaus "kantaa aina" tarkoittaa suomeksi kirjaimellisesti tai kuvaannollisesti jonkin asian jatkuvaa mukana pitämistä, ylläpitämistä tai suorittamista. Se on yhdistelmä verbistä kantaa (pitää mukana, tukea, kestää) ja sanasta aina (jatkuvasti, kaiken aikaa).
Typically the object which is carried or borne or in some cases “worn” on one's person («kannettu») is placed in the accusative or total direct object case if it is always carried and in the partitive case if it is sometimes or never carried.
- Kannan pistoolin = I always (or totally, without a doubt, without hesitating) carry a pistol.
- Kannan pistoolia = I sometimes (or possibly, or at some particular time or place) carry a pistol.
- En kanna pistoolia = I do not carry a pistol. (And never say never.)
These three logical cases are normally considered mutually exclusive and exhaustive, and it is not necessary to be more emphatic or explicit than that amongst them.
