Johanssonin

Johanssonin is the genitive form used in Finnish to indicate possession or association with someone named Johansson, a common Swedish-origin surname. In Finnish, the possessive suffix -in is attached to proper nouns to express “of” or “belonging to.” The base name Johansson remains unchanged, and the resulting form Johanssonin is used before nouns or in phrases that denote ownership or relation.

The form is employed in everyday language, journalism, and literature to attribute property, works, or statements to a person with the surname Johansson. For example, Johanssonin auto means “Johansson’s car,” and Johanssonin kirja means “Johansson’s book.” The construction is also used to attribute information, as in Johanssonin mukaan, meaning “according to Johansson.”

Usage considerations include that Johanssonin denotes a singular possessive; when referring to more than one person with the surname, Finnish would typically use the plural genitive form, Johanssonien. The form follows standard Finnish grammar for proper nouns and does not indicate any change in the spelling of the base name beyond the addition of the possessive suffix.
