Suojineen

Suojineen is a Finnish postpositional construction that means “with its protector” or “together with its protective equipment.” It is typically used to indicate that an item is described as including a protective cover, case, or guard, or that accompanying safety features are part of the described object.

In practice, suojineen is formed by attaching a suffix to a noun to express accompaniment or inclusion. The stem suojain, meaning a protective device or cover, is the common basis for the phrase. The -ineen form appears in various compound phrases such as ohjeineen (with its instructions), lisävarusteineen (with its accessories), and varusteineen (with its gear). Suojineen thus belongs to a broader class of Finnish expressions used to enumerate what accompanies an item.

Usage examples appear in consumer descriptions, product catalogs, and museum labels, where succinctly noting “with its protective case” or “with its guard” helps convey completeness or packaging. It can also be found in legal or insurance texts that specify an item and its accompanying protective features.

Overall, suojineen is a typical example of Finnish compound phrasing that communicates that an object is being presented together with its protective elements. It reflects a broader linguistic pattern in Finnish where nouns are extended with suffixes to express accompaniment, inclusion, or association.
