Kyselynsä

Kyselynsä is a Finnish noun form that marks possession by a third person singular, referring to a survey or questionnaire that belongs to someone. It is formed by the noun kysely (survey, questionnaire) plus the third-person possessive suffix -nsä, yielding kyselynsä. The word therefore means “his/her/its survey” in a context where the possessor is understood from the surrounding text.

In Finnish, possessive suffixes attach directly to the noun. The 3rd person singular possessive suffix is typically rendered as -nsä (or -nsa in some phonological environments), and the resulting form agrees with the possessor rather than the possessed item. Kyselynsä commonly appears in neutral, formal or descriptive writing when referring to a specific person’s questionnaire.

Usage examples include: Hän julkaisi kyselynsä tulokset. This sentence shows a singular third-person possessor referring to the person’s own survey results. Another example might be: Tutkija raportoi kyselynsä pääkohdista. These constructions illustrate how kyselynsä is used to attribute a questionnaire to a particular subject without repeating the noun.

Related terms include kysely (survey or questionnaire) and kyselytutkimus (survey research). Finnish possessive forms like kyselynsä are a standard way to indicate ownership within concise, factual prose.
