Saavutuksensa

Saavutuksensa is a Finnish noun phrase that translates roughly to “his/her achievement.” It is formed from the noun saavutus, meaning achievement, combined with the third-person possessive suffix. The standard spelling for the third-person singular form is saavutuksensa. Related forms show other persons, such as saavutukseni (my achievement) and saavutuksesi (your achievement).

Usage in Finnish is common in both everyday language and formal writing to indicate ownership of a single accomplishment by another person. It can appear in biographies, news reports, academic texts, or literary works when describing what someone has achieved. For example, a sentence might discuss a scientist’s breakthroughs and refer to “hänen saavutuksensa,” meaning the scientist’s achievements or singular achievement, depending on context and number.

Morphology and grammar: Saavutus functions as the base noun, and possessive suffixes attach to express person and number. The form saavutuksensa signals a possession by a third-person singular subject. The phrase can be adapted to different grammatical roles within a sentence, just like other Finnish noun phrases built with possessive suffixes.

Etymology and related terms: The word derives from saavutus (achievement). The plural form is saavutukset, and possessive variations extend to indicate different owners (e.g., minun saavutukseni, sinun saavutuksesi, hänen saavutuksensa).
