Teoksensa

Teoksensa is a Finnish possessive form meaning "one's own work." It is used to reference the work created by the subject under discussion, such as an author’s or artist’s own output. The form is produced by attaching the third-person possessive suffix -nsa to the noun teos (work, creation) to yield teoksensa. The suffix marks ownership by the person being talked about and, in practice, can refer to singular or plural owners depending on context.

In usage, teoksensa is common in literary criticism, biographies, and discussions of an individual's oeuvre, allowing writers to refer to the subject's creations without repeating the name. It emphasizes personal authorship rather than external works.

Examples include: "Kirjailija julkaisi teoksensa." (The author published his/her own work.) and "Kuvataiteilija esitteli teoksensa galleriassa." (The artist presented his/her own works at the gallery.) The construction is a standard tool in Finnish to highlight ownership of creative output within narrative or analytical writing.
