Lahjoituksensa

Lahjoituksensa is a Finnish noun phrase meaning “his/her/its donation” and, by context, can also translate to “their donation.” It is formed from the noun lahjoitus (donation) plus the third-person possessive suffix. The suffix attaches to the possessed noun to indicate ownership by a third person, and its exact spelling can vary as part of Finnish vowel harmony, with the common ending in this word appearing as -nsä or -nsa, yielding lahjoituksensa in standard writing.

The base word lahjoitus refers to the act or result of giving something voluntarily to a cause, organization, or project. Lahjoitukset can be monetary or in-kind, and the term is widely used in charity, nonprofit, and public-reporting contexts. Lahjoituksensa, therefore, denotes the donation belonging to or made by a specific person or entity, with the possessor identified by surrounding text or pronouns.

Usage of lahjoituksensa is typical in formal or semi-formal Finnish, such as news reports, grant announcements, annual reports, and charitable communications. It is often preceded by a possessive or identifying phrase (for example, “Hänen lahjoituksensa” meaning “his/her donation”) to clarify who provided the gift. In writing about multiple donors, Finnish would typically adjust the noun to reflect plurality (for example by using lahjoitukset or a broader phrasing), rather than relying on this form alone.

Related terms include lahjoitus (donation), lahjoittaja (donor), and lahjoittaa (to donate). The concept is central to philanthropy and civic giving in Finnish-language contexts.
