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
