Csspäätteisiä

Csspäätteisiä is a Finnish linguistic term referring to words that end with the letter "s." This ending often indicates the genitive case, a grammatical case used to show possession or relationship, similar to the English "'s" or "of." For example, in Finnish, "talon" (of the house) uses the genitive ending "n," but some nouns might exhibit a different form. The term "csspäätteisiä" specifically focuses on the "s" sound or letter at the end of the word.

While the genitive case is a primary function associated with final "s" sounds, it is not the only one. Certain adverbs or interjections in Finnish might also end with an "s." The presence of "s" at the end of a word in Finnish can therefore have multiple grammatical implications, and context is crucial for accurate interpretation. Understanding these endings is important for comprehending Finnish grammar and vocabulary, particularly when analyzing sentence structure and word relationships. The term itself is a descriptive compound, breaking down into "cs" (referring to the sound) and "päätteisiä" (meaning "ending").
