Poikamme

Poikamme is a Finnish noun phrase meaning "our son." It is formed from the noun poika (boy, son) with the first-person plural possessive suffix -mme, yielding poikamme, which is used in the nominative case to denote possession by the speaker and others. In Finnish spelling, the suffix becomes part of the noun and does not require a separate possessive pronoun; however, the determiner meidän ("our") can be added for emphasis or clarity: meidän poikamme.

Poikamme is used in everyday and formal language to refer to the speaker's son. It can appear alone as the subject of a sentence, or with other sentence elements, for example: Poikamme aloitti koulun. (Our son started school.) Poikamme on terve. (Our son is healthy.) Meidän poikamme halusi uuden polkupyörän. (Our son wanted a new bicycle.)

In Finnish, possessive suffixes attach to the noun to encode ownership, and -mme marks the first-person plural possessor. Related terms include poika (boy), poikasi (your son, singular you), poikanne (your son, plural you), and poikansa (his/her/its son).
