Laitteidensa

Laitteidensa is a Finnish possessive phrase that translates roughly to "their devices" in English. It is used in written and spoken Finnish to indicate ownership of multiple devices by a third-person plural subject, such as a group, organization, or community. The form appears in contexts where the possessor is understood or specified, and it often occurs within larger noun phrases or sentences discussing equipment or tools.

Morphology and formation guidance: Laitteidensa is built from the plural noun laitteet (devices) and a third-person possessive suffix, which in Finnish attaches to the possessed noun to express ownership. The result is a genitive-like construction that signals that the devices belong to others rather than the speaker or a single owner. Finnish possessive suffixes vary with person and number, and the exact spelling can change with vowel harmony and surrounding morphemes; laitdeidensa is one common written form for the possessive construction referring to multiple owners.

Usage notes: Laitteidensa tends to appear in formal or technical writing, reports, and analyses where clear attribution of devices to a group is important. It can be part of larger phrases, such as lait­teidensa käyttö (the use of their devices) or lait­teidensa kunto (the condition of their devices). In everyday conversation, speakers might opt for more direct phrasing or introduce the possessor with a determiner (for example, heidän laitteensa) depending on the discourse context.
