Kaappisi

Kaappisi is a Finnish word meaning "your cabinet" and functions as the second-person singular possessive form of the noun kaappi, which means cabinet or cupboard. In Finnish, possessive suffixes attach directly to the noun to indicate ownership, so kaappisi literally translates to “your cabinet.”

The term is formed by combining the root kaappi with the possessive suffix -si, which marks ownership by the person being spoken to. As a noun phrase, kaappisi behaves like other nominal forms in sentences and can serve as a subject or object depending on the case endings used.

Usage examples are common in everyday Finnish. Missä kaappisi on? means Where is your cabinet? Kaappisi on siisti refers to Your cabinet is clean. Voisitko avata kaappisi oven? asks Could you open the door of your cabinet? Such constructions are straightforward in standard Finnish and do not require special grammar beyond normal noun inflection and word order.

Kaappisi should not be confused with related terms that express different relations, such as kaappi (cabinet) alone or phrases using other possessive forms. It serves primarily as a straightforward possessive construction for indicating ownership in conversation and writing.
