Kokemuksenne

Kokemus means experience in Finnish. Kokemuksenne is the possessive form that means “your experience” when addressing two or more people or using a formal you. It is formed by taking the noun’s genitive stem and adding the second-person plural/formal possessive suffix -nne, producing kokemuksenne. In Finnish, there are parallel forms for singular and plural you; for singular informal you the form would be kokemuksesi.

Use and nuance: Kokemuksenne is commonly used in formal writing, surveys, feedback requests, customer service, and other contexts where a group or a formal address is intended. It indicates ownership of the experience by the person or people being spoken to. The word can function as a subject or an object in a sentence, depending on the structure.

Examples:

- Singular informal: Kerro kokemuksesi tästä projektista. (Tell me about your experience with this project.)

- Plural/formal: Kerro kokemuksenne tästä projektista. (Tell us about your experience with this project.)

- The phrase can also appear in statements such as: Kokemuksenne on arvokasta meille. (Your experience is valuable to us.)

Related forms include kokemuksesi for the singular you and kokemukset as the plural nominative form meaning “experiences.” The possessive suffix system in Finnish means that kokemus can pair with -si for one person and -nne for multiple or formal you, with the exact form chosen to reflect the intended addressee.
