Silmänne

Silmänne is a Finnish term that translates to "your eye" in English. It is a possessive form of the word silmä, meaning "eye." The suffix -nne indicates the second-person plural possessive, meaning "your" when addressing multiple people or using a formal singular address.

The word silmänne is grammatically structured with the root word "silmä" followed by the genitive suffix "-n" and then the second-person plural possessive suffix "-nne." This grammatical construction is common in Finnish for indicating possession.

In everyday usage, silmänne would be used in sentences referring to something belonging to the eye of a person or people being addressed. For example, one might say "Pidä silmänne auki" which translates to "Keep your eyes open." This phrase is used both literally, to encourage someone to be observant, and figuratively, to advise caution or awareness. The use of silmänne specifically denotes that the eyes belong to the person or people being spoken to, distinguishing it from other possessive forms like "silmäni" (my eye) or "silmäsi" (your eye, singular informal).
