Muutoksesi

Muutoksesi is a Finnish noun phrase formed from the word muutos (change) with the second-person singular possessive suffix -si, yielding a literal meaning of “your change.” In standard Finnish, -si marks ownership by the person being addressed, so muutoksesi refers to the change or edits attributed to you. The expression is commonly used in everyday language and in written materials to indicate edits made by a specific user.

In practice, muutoksesi is frequently encountered in software interfaces, documentation, and collaboration tools. For example, Finnish localization may present prompts such as “Tallenna muutoksesi” (Save your changes) or “Kuvasi on muutoksesi” in contexts describing the user’s edits. The form is primarily associated with singular address; when speaking to multiple people, the corresponding possessive form is typically muutoksenne (your changes plural).

Linguistic note: Finnish has a system of possessive suffixes appended to nouns, with -si used for the second-person singular informal address and -nne used for the second-person plural or formal address. Although muutoksesi literally denotes a single change, it is often used in contexts where a user’s set of edits is understood from context as a group of changes.
