Esimerkkiään

"Esimerkkiään" is a Finnish word, specifically the possessive form of the word "esimerkki," which means "example." The "-ään" ending indicates the third-person possessive, meaning "its own" or "their own." Therefore, "esimerkkiään" translates to "its own example" or "their own examples." It is used in Finnish to refer back to something that provides an illustration or a case in point for itself. For instance, one might say "Tämä tilanne on esimerkkiään" which translates to "This situation is its own example." This implies that the situation itself clearly demonstrates a particular concept or phenomenon without needing further external illustration. The word highlights the self-evident nature of the example. It's a grammatical construction that emphasizes how the subject matter inherently serves as its own proof or representation. The usage is relatively straightforward, fitting within the broader context of Finnish grammar that uses suffixes to denote possession and other grammatical relationships.
