The "total object” and “partial object” distinction exists in Finnish as well. One famous example is the verb naida, "to marry": nain hänet (total/nominative) means "I married them", but nain häntä (partial/partitive) means I married only a part of them, or in more colloquial terms, "I fucked them".
